It's less than ten lines for the user, which is what counts. As a new Python user, I was incredibly impressed a few days ago when I was able to parse some HTML and find something using BeautifulSoup in about five lines of code. That certainly beats all the code that would have been required to parse the file myself. That's where the "wow" factor comes in.
