I recently ran into the issue with 'print' were, as it says on the web page called "Python Gotchas" (http://www.ferg.org/projects/python_gotchas.html):
The Python Language Reference Manual says, about the print statement, A "\n" character is written at the end, unless the print statement ends with a comma. What it doesn't say is that if the print statement does end with a comma, a trailing space is printed. -- But this isn't exactly correct either. If you run this program: import sys print '+', print '-', sys.stdout.write('=') print -- the output is: + -= Note that there is no space after the '-'. (Tested on Win 2000 python 2.3.4, OS X 10.3.9 python 2.3 & 2.4) I know that this is not a massively important issue, but can someone explain what's going on? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
