May I ask why we need this information? And I'll explain why below..

If someone were new (to either Python or to Pandas), this 2 questions
can seems like an entry barrier to them. They can go "I've never used
any scientific packages before, does that mean I cannot do this?" or
"Do I need to have 10k lines of code under my belt before I attempt
thes?" and I would hate to see people turn themselves away. I'll speak
for myself and say that I know the "imposter syndrome" from a very
close range, struggle with it all the time, and I would discount
myself if I came across those questions.
