I have to admit I still have some legacy code that does that.

Then I found pandas. Life changed for the better.

Now I have lots if old code that I'll update, "one day".

However, even my old code, terrible as it is, does not overheat anything, and can process massively larger sets of data than 60,000 rows without any issue except poor efficiency.
