Ah I see the problem, the example would need to be larger for the classes to be more than data holder classes.
Do you think when the classes are larger with some logic, the ratio of Java/Python LOC would change?

My intent with the post was to create empiric knowledge, I'm not a follower of the idea anecdotal 'evidence' trumps all that is pervasive in our industry. So thanks for your opinion, but I'm not interested in the least in anecdotes when comparing languages.
To answer your question, though, yes: all other arguments about Python vs. Java aside, the LOC ratio would change dramatically in Python's favor once you start to add actual program logic. (Unless you're stuck with an architecture astronaut for a Python programmer.)
