"""debugio.py: debugging and input/output module
   
   This module contains facilities for printing to standard output.  The use
   of this module is really simple: import it, set DEBUG_LEVEL, and use write()
   whenever you want to print something.  The print function will print to
   standard output depending on DEBUG_LEVEL.
