In Python 2.6, could some print FUNCTION be added to the builtins, using a different name than "print" but with the Python 3000 semantics? Call it printfunc or whatever.
Python 3000 is undergoing much pain so that print can become a function. How about making those benefits available sooner than 3.0, so that we can use them earlier? Obviously people can create their own such function, but having a STANDARD name for it would mean that 2to3 could easily automate that translation. Plus, it'd help people get used to the idea of a printing _function_. --- David A.
