You're right, of course, and I do appreciate it. I generally am calling functions and returning strings and then printing the entire string. For example:
def SomeFunc(): lstrRetVal = '' lstrRetVal += 'Content-type: text/html\n\n' lstrRetVal += more HTML here... return lstrRetVal Then, the calling code does: print SomeFunc() In this case, the extra new line character is appropriate. Somehow, the extra new line character slipped in on the print statement in my upload sample code (I probably copied from a function that returns a string). But thanks just the same... Just to be complete (so that no one comments about string concatenation efficiency), in a real application I would generally use triple quotes for HTML (or append to a list and then .join into a string at the end)... Thanks to all for your help.
