Tested it again, and indeed it fails... with Python 2.0. With 2.1, runs 
like a champ. Go figure. Possible cause is that I have PyXML 0.7 
installed in 2.1, which emits unicode strings.

This works in both (for me):

def write(x):
    s = x or ""
    if type(s) == type(u''):
        s = s.encode("ISO-8859-1")
    sys.stdout.write(s + "\n")
