If you want to conclude that Python is better at processing files, you
need to
show it using each language doing it a way well suited to that
language, rather
than burdening one so it uses the same method as the less powerful one.
byLine() yields a char[], so if you want to do most kinds of strings
processing or you want to store the line (or parts of it), you have to
idup it. So in this case Python is not significantly less powerful than
D.

presented the ranges design?
