I have the following code:

import gzip
import datetime
date = datetime.date.today()
name = date.strftime('%m-%d-%Y')+'.gz'
date.strftime('%m-%d-%Y')+'.gz'
print "The name of the file will be", name

the output is:
The name of the file will be
The name of the file will be 06-08-2009.gz


I can't figure out why 'The name of the file will be' is printing twice. Any help appreciated.

Running from a console the expected output would actually be

06-08-2009.gz
The name of the file will be 06-08-2009.gz

Other than that side effect it works with only 1 print.
