But the reason it becomes a function is because being a statement it is inflexible and there is no way to pass arguments to the print function, at the cost of extra typing of parentheses. I wish py3k would make it an option whether to treat print as statement or function though. Since not all programs require the power of print as a function and having to type the extra parentheses is a bit tiring if you're printing lots of things. Probably it may be coupled with a translator (for source code from statement to function, since the reverse would not be practical) if you changed your mind. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
