It supports them fairly good, but it's
not 'integrated' - at least it feels not
integrated for me ;-) If you did a lot of

What is a 'file content manipulation'?
Did you mean 'good xxx level file IO',
where xxx means either 'low' or 'high'?

Just try to start a small project in Python -
from source that you already have in C or Perl
or something.
