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.

DESCRIPTION

       Wrapper around py_compile to byte-compile python files.

OPTIONS

       --version

       -h, --help
	      Show this help message and exit.

       -f, --force

       -V VRANGE
	      Force  private modules to be bytecompiled with Python version from given range, regardless of the default Python version in the sys-
