Is this really the 'official' way to do this? This isn't meant to be confrontational or trolling; I honestly don't know the answer and I had similar questions when I first started with the 3.0 release candidates and I have yet to find a good answer in the Python v3.0 documentation. Why wouldn't you just use: print(bytes.decode(b'abc\n'), end='') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
