Because the tree implementation in ElementTree or other tree modules in Python require a lot of typing and parenthesis

To produce the HTML code

<DIV>hello <B>world</B></DIV>

these modules require writing something like 

div = Tag('DIV')
div.appendChild(TextNode('hello '))
b = Tag('B')
b.appendChild(TextNode('world'))
div.appendChild(b)
doc.appendChild(div)

With the tree syntax proposed in Brython it would just be

doc <= DIV('hello '+B('world'))

If "pythonic" means concise and readable, which one is more pythonic ?
