This print is still in place, any reason for that? My previous comment was:

Not that there are any adverse effects with the current code, but
'dict' is actually used in python referring to the actual
dictionary type. So it might be good to use a different variable
name here (and there is an example below as well.)

Is there any reason for this to still be here that I'm missing? My previous
comment was:

I missed this above message first time around: might want to also wrap
"Writing %s" to make it translatable.
