Probably not because this is exactly the kind of task sed was designed for. And using the right tool fotr the job is usually more elegant and efficient than using a general purpose configured for the job... If the editing was more complex and involved multiple files (copying from file a to file b etc) then sed begins to creak and Python becomes much better suited.
