I don't use print much. For online applications I call a socket write
or for web apps store up all the HTML in a buffer and only write it out
at the end (to allow code anywhere to raise a Redirect exception).
I don't use print for quick and dirty debugging, but this
def dump(*args):
sys.stderr.write('%s\n' % (repr(args)))
