Well, there isn't a whole lot that sed can do that a combination of the
fileinput module, the string module and the re module can't do. Try
looking at the documentation of those modules and see if it helps any.

If, specifically, you are asking if there is a module to parse sed
commands and transform them to a function taking a line and returning a
line, then I know of no such module, and suspect there isn't one.
