Trust me, I feel the same way!
I joined the Python discord to get a handle on things, and it’s all zooming right over me!
For the sake of ease, I just went with separate data sheets and that’s worked great so far. I’d prefer to consolidate and slice the data as needed, but I’m just not at that level yet.
I’ve hit another roadblock where I’ve found that pure leaflet.js has the event handlers I want (mouseover events!) that folium can’t seem to accommodate in a Python environment yet.
On the bright side, I’m having loads of fun, even if I don’t understand half of it! Never know if an avid Python fan is among us or not.
