reading the discussion, the arguments are about "print" as of now being a syntactic construc, an operator without apparent reason. all that is proposed is to tuck it as a function/procedure, i.e. use parenthesis and be able to redefine with a simple def print(...) if you think about it, the pythonic way is for print to return None. we use it for the side effect (stdout output) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
