In Python 3, that's easy: the default space separator and newline at the end can both be customized to any string you like: print(x, y, z, sep=' +++ ', end='\n\tEND\n') individually or together, including the empty string: print(x, y, z, sep='\n', end='') And naturally, since these are just ordinary function arguments, they are restricted to constant literals. They can be variables or expressions: print(x, y, z, end=(get_output_end() or OUTPUT_END)) [...] > (Some languages use 'write' or 'writeln', or 'print' or 'println'; what > could be simpler? Or you just explicitly output a "\n" string.) One function is simpler than two, so print() with explicit keyword arguments is obviously simpler AND more powerful. -- Steven “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
