Hello,

I had found some article on this some months ago, can't remember where exactly...

But if you don't want harassments, I'd just advise you to create a function with a properly specific name (like "exprint()"), and to make it mimic closely the signature and behaviour of Py3k's print() function. That way, if one day you switch to upper versions, a simple mass text replacing operation on all your files will do it in an instant B-)

Regards,
Pascal

hello,

For several reasons I still use Python version 2.5.
I understand that the print-statement will be replaced in Python version 3.0.

At the moment I want to extend the print statement with an optional traceback.
So I've 2 options:
1- make a new function, like "eprint ()", where "e" stands for extended print
2- make a function "print()" that has the extended features

Now I guess that one of the reasons to change print from a statement to a function,
is the option to override and extend it.
If that's so, choice 2 would be the best choice.
Is that assumption correct ?

Suppose the second choice is the best,
I can now create a function "print",
and have the best of 2 worlds, get my extension and being prepared for the future.

def print ( *args ) :
   for arg in args :
       print arg,
   print ('____________ Print Traceback ____________')
   do_extended printer actions

Now doesn't seem to be allowed,
nor is there an import from __future__  :-(

What's the best solution (other than moving to 2.6 or up ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki
