(That's why sys.stdout... sucks)

I'm starting to wonder if all these changes are more or less 
a "face" wash to "sell" better python to the commercial world.

I see "print >> 23,455,23 " more a kind of concession to the
C++ world than anything else. 

If so, don't "wash" too much python, it may shrink and get nasty.
