I am yet convinced, this is the best solution for printing a simple list

I like that as well, but as of performance wasn't the issue, the first
solution is easier anyhow.

Unfortunately the items in the list do not end in newlines, 
nevertheless, thanks for pointing out writelines.

But what, if I have a condition on the list.
Everyone tries to keep me away from list-comprehension :-)

But I do not have a better/easier_to_type solution to

[sys.stdout.write_whatsoever(x) for x in my_list if x.i_am_good_one()]
# x having a __str__ in that case :-)

Maybe I do not understand potential problems from side-effects, which
I do not see in *this* case.

Yours insisting-ly,
