C++-style stream syntax in Python!

clown.py

import sys 

# Inspired by a friend who hadn't had her coffee yet and thought
# she was writing C++ when she was in a Python file.
class ostream:
    def __init__(self, target):
        self.target = target
    def __lshift__(self, other):
        self.target.write(other)
        return self


cout = ostream(sys.stdout)
endl = "\n"

cout << "foo" << endl

myFile = ostream(open("foo.txt", "w"))
myFile << "foo" << endl

I'm not proud of myself
