Yes it's 3.0 only. I have no clear idea of the implications of using the print() function in 2.6 yet; maybe changing the defaults for end/sep to unicode would suffice to make it work smoothly. I will probably defer the transition from statement to function until I move to 3.x. One benefit of the function is that you can do things like from functools import partial print = partial(print, sep=u" ", end=u"\n") Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
