You are aware that it is only one character more to type? It is debatable if print should have gone or not - but once you decide to have a print-statement I fail to see why you want to rid it of functionality. The costs for a keyword and special parsing rules are paid anyway then. Diez Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
