Good question John.
My lengthy post was confusing because I want on the riff about
how range() doesn't return a list in 3.x (but a range object,
iterable but not an iterator).
In point of fact, I'm using Python 2.6 from start to finish in
this class, with only allusions and honorable mentions of 3.x
features. Using print as a function is optional in 2.6 without
importing anything special.
Here we are:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.version
'2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]'
>>> "{0}".format(1)
'1'
>>> print(1)
1
I'm actually forgetting what we might need to import anymore, to
make 2.6 behave like 3.x, when it comes to print and string formatting.
