Har har :) I meant printing to the single most obvious destination,
which is a combination of stdout and stderr (the latter for error
tracebacks, by default).

What he's saying is basically "print is EVIL, so do everything with
the REPL, and pretend that the P in REPL doesn't stand for print".
Apparently the idea that code should work from a .py file is foreign
to him.
