To each their own :).  I can't stand using 'print' as a statement.
It's a very nice trick to be able to write a script, think "oh, all
those prints should really be sending that output somewhere else", and
then instead of changing every individual print, just define a
different 'print' function at the top of the file (which may be as
simple as `print = functools.partial(print, file=sys.stderr)` or
`print = logging.debug`).
