Interestingly, the fact that it wasn't in builtins didn't stop you from being able to pass the type to the help() function. I wonder if you can use the same trick to obtain the type for use in your prnt() function. (Failing that, you could use "from types import GeneratorType".) > How are other solving this? In my experience, if you want a custom print function that prints things the way you want, you have to write it yourself. People's expectations are too different.
