That wasn't quite my point - I meant that the rest of Python's statements (to a one) all have a quite fundamental impact on what the code in question means. `print` doesn't. I write data filters in Python all the time -- but I virtually never use `print`. stdout.write() is more consistent /and/ parallel to stdin.read(). `print` should go away, at least as a statement.
