Maybe the print statement is like the wart of Python. It maybe ugly, but it adds character. Could you imagine Lemmy lasered his? Of course people are angsty that *their* Python might not be the same! But I can relieve those who are: The interactive command line shell IPython delivers an autocompletion where parenthesis for _any_ function may be left out. Now, how does that sound? Ruby anyone? ;) Sincerely, Malte -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
