Addition to code: I have simply added a second argument to all print calls that intend to print an error, that second argument being the file descriptor of the stderr buffer. There are several reasons why: the most obvious being best practice, and no buffering.
Type of change
[x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
Proposed Changes
Change all print('Error: ...') error messages to print('Error: ...', file=sys.stderr) instead.
Why is this change needed?
This change is needed to maintain the overall code quality of this project. Printing error messages to `sys.stderr` is a practice that should be adhered to by all code. See [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3385201/confused-about-stdin-stdout-and-stderr) for more information about what `sys.stderr` (or just `stderr`) is.
