It would be helpful if python files could be uploaded to the local storage so reused functions can be uploaded and maintained in one place. 

For example, if I write python function to format a text column and that function is used in 20+ MV's, and I need to make a modification, I need to go into each individual MV to change the function code. Ideally, I would be able to upload a .py file and import that from local storage. This way, if I need to modify the function, I can do so just once. 

While I did consider using having a python script more formally installed, this method needs to either go through an IT team or the user needs access to the backend. However, if a .py can be uploaded to the local directory, small functions can be more easily reused and iterated on.
