clear content of 'printed'

[Jeff Epler]

What is "printed" (and why do you think that 'print "some text"' will
modify it)?  What is "container", that it has a "writeToFile" method?  
You must be using some non-standard module you didn't mention.

If I understand what you're asking for, I might write something like
    for i, id in enumerate(myList):
        f = open(id, "w")
        print >>f, "some text"
(Enumerate is a new built-in function in Python 2.3.  The "print >>"
syntax has been available since 2.1 or so)
