Well, you can get rid of the newline by ending with a comma, but it still 
will insert spaces:

>>> for ch in "abc":
...  print ch
...
a
b
c
>>> for ch in "abc":
...  print ch,
...
a b c
>>>

I recall a way to get around that, too, but don't remember what it was.  
Your suggestion:

Is the cleanest way to go, rather than arm-wrestling with "print".
