You could use

 output = ''
 output += 'Something else to print'

instead of

 print 'Something else to print'

And finally use

 print output

Or to use that more efficiently use a list of strings and append to that 
list. That's probably faster than creating another immutable string time 
and again. And finally you just ' '.join(outputlist) and print that.
