Functions and methods are first-class citizens in Python; all you have
to do is:
o = outfile.write
o('blah blah\n')
o('etc\n')
Bonus: your code will run (measurably but almost imperceptibly)
faster, because you save a method lookup every time you use it.This
would not happen with a text-substituting macro approach.
