I believe the current plan is to make compatible changes in the next few releases, and then make the incompatable changes in Python 3.0 See PEP 3000 for details. http://www.python.org/peps/pep-3000.html What this means is that there is a good chance that a print() built-in function or method on a file object may show up in a future release, the print statment won't go away until Python 3.0.
