Tom, 

use a raw string -- observe the "r" before the string. See eg below:

>>> print r"abc
xyz"
abc
xyz
>>> print "abc
xyz"
abc
xyz

The first string with 
 was printed without being interpreted as a 
line feed character. (note: eg pasted from Linux, not W95)

BTW, why do you use sys.stdout.write() instead of print?
