Like I (and Greg too) clearly said all along, -1 on changing ">>" to "to"!

Really ? Hmmmm...

[Greg Ewing]

Looks reasonably good. Not entirely sure I like the look of >> though -- a bit too reminiscent of C++.

How about print to myfile, x, y, z

[Barry Warsaw]

Not bad at all. Seems quite Pythonic to me.

[Tim Peters]

Me too! +1 on changing ">>" to "to" here. Then we can introduce [print from etc]
