+In python project you don't commit dependencies to the project
+so typically this would be required: pip install -r requirements.txt

+# TODOs
+1. Why does installing packages fail????
+2. Do we need a .python-version file or a pyproject.yaml?? 
+3. Consistent build process
+4. Readme for actions container or fwd?

+# Strongly vs Dynamic Languages

+# STATIC vs DYNAMIC
+# For STATIC languages your IDE/build it will complain at COMPILE time if you're doing some
+# kind of operand on incompatible types
+# for DYNAMIC languages type checking is done at RUNTIME
+
+# STRONG vs WEAKLY type
+# A programing language that is strongly typed can either by dynamic or static
+# Weakly-typed languages make conversions between unrelated types implicitly;
+# whereas, strongly-typed languages don’t allow implicit conversions between unrelated types.
+
+# JAVASCRIPT it is weakly typed and dynamic this will run without a single fucking error

+# value = value + "dot";
