Is this the kind of thing you are after...

>>> prints = sys.stdout.write
>>> str = 'abc'
>>> for i in ['a', 'b', ' ', 'c', str, '\n']:
...     prints(i)
...
ab cabc
>>>

...rather than...

>>> for i in ['a', 'b', ' ', 'c', str, '\n']:
...     print i,
...
a b   c abc
>>>

I guess I just don't see sys.stdout as a trick, print is the trick
because it wraps sys.stdout.write up with some formatting shortcuts.
