I recently discovered this awesome redirection syntax for the print statement in Python. Also, it reveals quite nicely that print writes the newline separately to the stream.

print_stream_redirect.py

class Logger(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.records = []
    def write(self, record):
        self.records.append(record)

logger = Logger()

print >> logger, "hello"
print >> logger, "world"

print logger.records
# > ['hello', '\n', 'world', '\n']

Fun fact: If the first expression (in this case 'logger') evaluates to None then the result is printed to stdout.
