Bah. The trailing command may prevent the newline, but it appends a
space whether you want it or not.[1] Use sys.stdout.write('.') instead.
import sys
print "wussy nanny state, tax 'n spend my spaces, liberal comma:"
for i in range(1, 10):
print '.',
print
print "manly neo-con I know what's Right so keep your government out of
my strings! print:"
for i in range(1, 10):
sys.stdout.write('.')
[1] Which has to be _the_ most annoying feature of Python. *grrr*
