Can't you get around all those with things like sys.stdout.write?
If so, what was the point of having a discrete print statement/function
at all?
Simplicity. It is much easier to explain to a beginner that
print("Wombats are go!")
will write something to the console rather than expecting them to
remember the incantation
import sys
sys.stdout.write("Wombats are go!\n")
(That's basically my gripe against print becoming a function in Python3.
It makes a lot of sense as has already been pointed out, but it breaks
every beginners tutorial.)
