That change is however, the one most immediately visible to new programmers. Most of the other statements are pretty much unchanged. In any case, 'print' is an easy-to-use facade over sys.stdout.write(), with default formatting. If really concerned about it, start programs with import sys write = sys.stdout.write and use that to write out explicitly formatted strings. (Some people routinely do this for production code anyway.) tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
