In that case you'd either 

a) have to subclass the StreamWriter
and provide the necessary logic in the .writelines() method
(using the .write() method to do the actual work) or 

b) forget about .writelines() and move the for-loop directly into
your application or

c) use u"".join(datalines) and .write().

Not really all that difficult.
