It's ugly, but works:
[__import__('sys').stdout.write(str(i)+'\n') for i in range(5)]

or even:
[__import__('os').write(1, str(i)+'\n') for i in range(5)]

The main difference is that first will return an array of Nones
while the second will return an array of values returned by os.write().
Personally I prefer using print statement and join() method:

print '\n'.join([str(i) for i in range(5)])
