After I hit Send, I thought of the obvious problem... you'd have to know ahead of time which version of print() was available, because you'll get a TypeError if you pass undefined keyword arguments to print(). On the other hand, it'd be a quickie to do that test at the top of your code...
Or maybe we need a printf function in Python that has the C behaviour (and takes other arguments, such as output stream?)
As to bytes v characters I'd opt for bytes since in dealing with hardware/networks the bytes are more significant than the
characters... -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
