Well, since this thread is going on, I thought I'd add
my $0.02 in :-).
I guess what Lance wanted to see is a simple way to print
a string without a following space or newline.
One answer is to use os.write (?), which is not as elegant/
simple/straightforward as just 'print'.
While I like the python syntax (and many other features) better,
I wish python had the logic of Perl regarding the 'print' interface,
Namely: don't 'print' what you haven't been asked to.
Disclaimer: I'm very new to 'python'. Just watching this list.
Peace, Ariel
