Dev from other team asked me for a code I had previously written. I emailed it.

Dev: Thanks, I received it but am not able to open the .py file

Me: Try using Microsoft Word.

I totally would have suggested

So is this hypothetical or did it really happen?

And why didn't you propose notepad++? What is this cruel and unusual punishment?

Ideally he could forward this email to some email code executor and get some output.

I think it will be cool useless project to make.

@Demolishun Yes, it did happen.

Possibly, notepad++ is not available on the Dev's laptop by default so by suggesting Word, I avoided further questions on installation.
