The logging module is great, but logging and debugging are two different things (although that fact is obscured when you don't have a console). print is useful in scenarios other than debugging. And while I do occasionally use it, I wouldn't be too heartbroken if the trailing comma form were lost. I /would/ mourn the loss of print>> though -- not necessarily the syntax, which was clearly a compromise, but the functionality. If we could have spelled it "print to sys.stderr" we would have. -Barry
