It can't!  At least, it's pretty ugly and not very Pythonic
code (says yet another self-proclaimed expert :-).

Also, it's going to write out all lines in the file as one
big line because it removes the \n at the end of each
but doesn't add any.  

Try some of the other, slightly more verbose, suggestions if
you want your code to be readable.
