in that example probably no difference - readability counts. but if you want to display a slightly different message then you could the following print "may age is %s years",% my_age which is arguably nicer than print "my age is", print my_age, print "Years" & less error prone you can of course expand this format with multiple insertions & even explicit formatting for specific data types. -- It got to the point where I had to get a haircut or both feet firmly planted in the air. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
