What's wrong with write() ? Print is merely provided for convenience.
When it's not doing what you want, you are supposed to use write(),
not come up with weird hacks for print.

ok sorry, I believed write was not buffered. I just read the library
reference part on write() and see I was wrong.

[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> class Out(object):[/color][/color][/color]
.... def _set_softspace( self, value):
.... pass
.... def _get_softspace( self):
.... return False
.... softspace = property(_get_s oftspace, _set_softspace)
.... def write(self, s):
.... sys.stdout.writ e(s)
....[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> out = Out()
>>> print >> out, "a", "b", "c"[/color][/color][/color]
abc[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> print >> out, "x",[/color][/color][/color]
x>>>

It's possible, but I'd rather go with write().
And, please, never ever substitute sys.stdout with a similar object.
