Yes, "print something" will be quite safe here, although 'print' adds a newline mark
or a blank (if you end 'print' with a comma) to the output and sometimes it can show
on the generated pages. But if you used 'print' for making binary files e.g. images,
that could ruin the output, so it's usually easier to use sys.stdout.write and not to
think about this problem. Please note also, that on Windows, both of the ways can
translate '\n' into '\r\n' so it may be necessary to switch stdout to binary mode, with
this code, for example:
try:
  import msvcrt,os
  msvcrt.setmode( 1, os.O_BINARY ) # 1 = stdout; use 0 for stdin
except ImportError:
  pass
