The answer to the question as written: The code avoids a print statement by os.write()ing to stdout's file descriptor, which is 1:

getattr(__import__("os"), "write")(1, "Hello world!\n")

The rest of the explanation is detailed at https://benkurtovic.com/2014/06/01/obfuscating-hello-world.html. Instead of a summary here, just read the original!
