A stupid newbie question about output...

Can someone explain why this code results in two different outputs? > for os in comp.CIM_OperatingSystem (): > print os.Name.split("|")[0] + " Service Pack", os.ServicePackMajorVersion > osVer = os.Name.split("|")[0] + " Service Pack", os.ServicePackMajorVersion > print osVer the first print s
