> I would never want to write a python program for quick analysis of a log file when I can grep/sed/awk/sort/uniq my way to a solution. Yeah but I would wager very few people actually know awk.

That's why I like the idea of pawk[1] - it's like awk, except with python syntax instead of some esoteric syntax that nobody knows.
