i keep having the experience of having ppl be like 'im a programmer i can help' but then they dont know my version of python or pandas or whatever and so its no longer a fast/easy fix for them, they have to sit down and learn stuff, and then i feel bad asking
would it be realistic for you skip the feeling bad part by paying them?

You could post those version numbers to decrease the hassle.

They might still be in a better position to help than you'd think; they probably wouldn't get to the point of crying out of frustration. Learning stuff isn't terrible, and it's okay to ask — if it looks too bad for them, it's a chance for them to learn to say no.

That's not so unusual though, programmers often have to catch up on tools when they enter a new project
