Sez you. In *my* "business process automation" (I'm a professor), its primary use is for normal output. In debugging such code, I often replace the print function rather than add logger logging. If you want to save keystrokes, an editor macro (which avoids the shift-keystrokes required by parentheses on all keyboard layouts I know of) or "p = print" are probably more effective. > I believe that the parenthesis don't matter in the vast majority of > cases where a developer writes a print statement: because they > would delete afterwards ie. with git checkout -p or something. Certainly not true for me. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/M6JI5QSXW2CLSL63MOX372RS74CNYHUQ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
