CGI -- generating images -- \x0A always added!

[John Hazen]

Before the program exits, you can set sys.stdout.softspace to 0, and that 
will prevent the pending newline from printing.

In the interactive mode:
>>> print "foo",
foo
>>> # note the extra newline, so the prompt is on its own line.
...
>>> print "foo",;sys.stdout.softspace = 0
foo>>> # no newline


But the way which is probably most appropriate for dealing with
binary data (it should also make the '-u' unneccessary) is:

>>> sys.stdout.write("foo")
foo>>> # no newline...
