True. But let's not forget that spaces are one keystroke whereas an open round-bracket is ^9 and a closing round- bracket is ^0. Speaking in _keystrokes_, and that's what really matters here, a print function is always three more keystrokes than a print statement. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
