Yeah, that's one of the things that was cleaned up in Py3. Several pieces of magic syntax were replaced with perfectly ordinary functions. While there are plenty of people who complain about having to put parentheses around their print calls, I'm firmly of the opinion that print(..., file=somefile) is WAY better than the >> syntax that Py2 used. I can never remember whether it has to go first or has to go last, and whether it's >> or >>>, etc, etc. It's magic syntax. Py3? It's a keyword argument. Easy!
