Eric Snow added the comment: A lot of thought went into Python 3 changes, including making print a function (see PEP 3105). While typing efficiency may be appealing, keep in mind that generally code will be read more than written. There are other programming languages that highly value terseness. Personally I find such languages (A.K.A. write-only languages) harder to read. In contrast, I find the API for Python 3's print to be easier to remember, to use, and to read.
Keep in mind that the bug tracker probably isn't the best place for this discussion. I'd recommend taking it to the general Python mailing list (https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list). If you have a concrete proposal you should consider posting to the python-ideas mailing list. ---------- nosy: +eric.snow resolution: -> rejected stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19522> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
