"more flexible"? More convenient, yes. More powerful, maybe. But I
don't see more flexible. Everything print can to stdout.write() can
do. The reverse isn't true. eg (this appears to be a FAQ on this
group, although I can't find it in the FAQ):

for x in range(10):
    sys.stdout.write(str(x))

to print:
