Yes. Python's sys.stdout and C's stdout are both objects wrapping the call
os.write(1, "string") in Python and write(1, "string", strlen("string")) in
C, or some other function on platforms using other mechanisms for output.
In that way sys.stdout in Python and stdout in C will be portable to many
more systems.
