This is actually misleading by itself, as the first statement is not a function call in Py2: Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 7 2009, 18:43:55) [GCC 4.4.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> print(1,2) (1, 2) It can, however, be made a function call through a future import in 2.6: >>> from __future__ import print_function >>> print(1,2) 1 2 Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
