Try:
from __future__ import unicode_literals
That works for:
output.write('First line.\n')
...but not for:
print('Second line.', file=output)
Maybe a combination of this and functools.partial as was suggested before. At
least the necessary edits would be at the top of the program.
See http://bugs.python.org/issue4618, there's a comment with a workaround
for this problem.
