Testing for equality with 'is' is a bit of a cheat since it is
implementation dependent,
but since you have a somewhat unfair constraint ....
> out.write("%s %06d " % (i[0], i[1]))
Since i[0] is tested to be "ELEMENT', this should be the same as
out.write("ELEMENT %06d " % i[1])
which saves constructing a tuple as well as an interpolation.
