I'm not sure this is an issue for a terminal output stream, which is the case I'm trying to find a solution for. Otherwise, Python would already be in trouble for using this scheme in the print statement. Can you show an example of the print statement not working? -- Gustavo Niemeyer http://niemeyer.net _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
