While it's funny, I'm curious how many folks on c.l.p have done 
any/much python coding in ed.  I've had to do a bit on a router 
running an embedded Linux that had Python and ed, but no vi/vim. 
  I'm also glad I don't have to maintain that router any more, 
but I feel I earned my "ed" merit badge at that job :)
