Why would it need a function for this? Some people might not want a
newline, so it can't be automatically enabled.

This won't work unless you have STDOUT redirected to your file. It would be
better just to do
fobj.write('\n'.join(all) + '\n')
which is shorter than a function call that would enable this feature anyway.
This isn't a hack, this is how you're supposed to do this.
