I am a total beginner with Python. I am reading a book ("The Quick Python

takes end="" argument not to print newline character. I tried and here is
what happens:
print(x)
abc
print(x,end="")
File "<stdin>", line 1
print(x,end="")
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
What does the error message mean? I am using Python 2.6.5 on Ubuntu 9.10.
It means the book is written for Python 3.x.
You'll need a
from __future__ import print_function
before you can do the same in 2.6. Not sure, but I seem to recall some
very slight differences between the __future__ version of print and the
actual version in 3.x (although, with my memory, it could easily be one
of the other __future__ items).
