You can do it with print:
ofile = file("foo", "wb")
print >> ofile, "hello, world\r"
Note the 'b' in the mode. Not necessary on Unix, but would be on Windows to
get precise control of EOL characters.
I recommend that if you want more precise control over output formatting
that you use the file object's write method instead of the print statement:
ofile = file("foo", "wb")
ofile.write("hello, world\r\n")
