Again I have no idea why so convoluted a method as your function:
DEMO:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python2.7

mylist = [ "hello", "you", "are", "so", "cool" ]

STRING = ' '.join(mylist)
NEWSTRING = STRING.replace('hello', "hi")
print STRING
print NEWSTRING
print

# This function should work on ANY version of Python from at least 1.4.
def printWithoutNewlines():
    mystring = ""
    for objects in mylist:
        objects = objects.replace('hello', "hi")
        mystring = mystring + objects + " "
    return(mystring)

print printWithoutNewlines()

functionsOutput_sp = printWithoutNewlines()

print functionsOutput_sp

functionsOutput_nl = functionsOutput_sp.replace(' ', '\n')

print functionsOutput_nl ,

Results, same machine as before.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
