This question properly belongs in one of the Zope lists, since the 
regular Python folks have no idea what you're talking about.  Thank 
goodness I spotted you, or wackiness would ensue ;-)

"printed" is a magic variable implemented by the Script machinery, and 
is read-only.  You need to drop print and use plain strings:

for i in range(len(myList)):
     id = myList[i]
     txt = "some text"
     container.writeToFile(id, txt)
