Neither was I <wink>.  I lobbied for "print >> None" to be morally
equivalent to:

class Devnull:
...  def write(self, s): pass
... 
>>> devnull = Devnull()
>>> print >> devnull, 'this goes no where'
>>> 

but lost that argument.  I've never had a use for current
print>>None's semantics but I've had one or two situations where
printing to a null sink was handy (e.g. doing verbose prints that get
turned off with a --quiet flag).
