I've always been extremely impressed with Wolfram Mathematica's import function. This one call can handle importing images, text, file I/O, optimization files, geographical file formats, genetic encoding files...etc etc. The consistency is what is truly impressive here as even though Python can probably do much of the same things, each type that isn't built-in uses an entirely different library with different conventions.
