You need to use the sys.stdout.write() method directly, and build your
strings yourself. For example:
sys.stdout.write(str(foo))
sys.stdout.write(str(foobar))
Or more generically:
objects = [foo, foobar] # put whatever you want here
object_strings = map(str, objects)
onebigstring = string.join(object_strings, '') # join w/o spaces
sys.stdout.write(onebigstring)
Or more concisely and harder-to-read:
sys.stdout.write(string.join(map(str, objects), ''))
BTW, that won't write the last newline, which you can just add with a
+'\n' after the string construction.
