He's making a very finicky, nitpicking, and frankly silly point:  the
device driver is a sequence of bytes.  You can write that sequence of
bytes *directly as machine code* from Python, in the sense that you
can have a Python program that would create a valid device driver
file by opening it, writing those bytes to it, and closing it.

Essentially he's deliberately misunderstanding what "write" means,
using the "write to a file" meaning instead of "create a new program"
meaning.
