Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that Python sucks for quick one-off hacks that process badly-specified, broken files. It can be done, and I've put up with it for years, but I'm tired of importing this and that and using long sanely-named methods just to do what Perl does with a simple <> or =~ or whatever.
I wouldn't dream of using this mess of a language for anything else, though. Hopefully I don't change my mind about that.
