No one said otherwise, or that print was useless and never used in such

I was responding to the question "Also, do you use print *that*
much? Really?" The implication being that in the majority of useful
python programs, you don't really need to use print.
My answer is yes, I use print in 100% of the scripts I write, including
the large useful ones.
For this reason alone, python 3 is incompatible with python 2 (which
has already been acknowledged.)
Until such time as 100% of the systems I might ever want to run my progams
on have python 3 installed, I cannot port my programs over from python 2.
Uhmm, just add the parenthesis to your old scripts. You can
do that without breaking on 2.x.
Only sort of. But in Python 2.6+, you only need to "from __future__
import print_function" to make code work in both 2.x and 3.x (at least
insofar as the print situation is concerned).
