There is no printf() in Python. You should not think of print as being a

Thanks for all replies.
Ok. I agree. While printf() does tightly control formatting in C, it does
not in Python. Using write() can be used to output with no changes to the
data.

Hi Paul
Based on your description of what you want to do, print is probably not
the correct method of controlling output format. You should use write()
method of the file handle to get unadulterated output.
print is working as documented . From the Python 2.3 documentation,
Section 6.6 The P
Don't use print, write directly to sys.stdout.
Print is not intended for precise output formatting;
it's intended for quick outputs that are useable
most of the time.
