As this would encourage that stupid style I'd say -1 for that.
Written that way it looks like a function which it isn't. The current
Python version is still 2.5, there's a 2.6 ahead and the promise that the
2.x and 3.x branches will co-exist for some time.
If the function looking style would be adopted for 2.x, do *you* want to
explain confused newbies why they can write::
print('hello!')
but this acts "strange":
print('hello, my name is ', name)
