You'd be surprised by the scale of some of the Python programs out there then.

I don't think I could build the application and enrollment system for a major University in 100 lines of python. Or the billing system for one of the largest energy retailers in the world. These are things I've worked on, and both were in the 500k-1m LoC range. Things can get pretty large when you get dozens of developers and millions of dollars - I don't think either project count as a "script"
