I think, instead, the stream API should grow a "print" method (or
whatever it ends up getting called). The example would then look
like:
sys.stderr.print("foo", "bar", "baz", " ")
It would probably be nice to provide a FileMixin object too.
(Actually, this would be nice now, so that if I implement read(), I
don't have to implement readline(), readlines(), etc.) The FileMixin
object would make it easy for user-defined file-like objects to also
support the print() method:
class FileMixin(object):
"""Adds the file methods.
Requires:
read()
write()
Adds:
__iter__()
next()
readline()
readlines()
writelines()
print() # or whatever it gets called
"""
