And if you do
parrot(1,)
you won't call parrot() with a one-element tuple eit

You could think about teaching them the linelist.append(fn(x)) way,

Sure I will. Next week, when we come to list operations.

In view of Duncan's response, which invalidates the premises
of my proposal, I announce the end of its short life. I will
add Duncan's solution to my bag of tricks - thank you!

I'm against further tinkering with Print on a number
of grounds, not least of which is that it's going
away in Python 3.0. It seems like wasted effort.
I don't see much difficulty with the current behavior:
if you want to get rid of the spaces, there are
alternatives.
I don't buy the novice argueme

your proposed solution of:
for x in seq:
print fn(x),,
print
is clearer than:
print ''.join([fn(x) for x in seq])
Thank you for your input. The latter form is fine with me personally,
but you just can't explain it to complete novices. My prop
