The reverse isn't true ???

   print "".join(str(x) for x in range(10))

(which BTW should be faster, since it's only one I/O, instead of ten 
with your version.)

Now, given:

   bird = "parrot"
   beautiful = "dead"

How would you do the following with f.write() ?

   print "this", bird, "is", beautiful

(without using string formating, of course...)
