In Python 3, print is a function, not a
statement. To make it easier to convert your programs to the
new syntax, first use this import statement
(introduced in Python 2.6):
from __future__ import print_function
Here is the interface to this function:
print(*args, sep=' ', end='\n', file=None)
args
One or more positional arguments whose values are to be printed.
sep
By default, consecutive values are separated by one space. You may specify a different separator string using this keyword argument.
end
By default, a newline ("\n") is written
after the last value in args. You may
use this keywoard argument to specify a different line
terminator, or no terminator at all.
file
Output normally goes to the standard output stream
(sys.stdout). To divert the output to
another writeable file, use this keyword argument.
Here's an example. Suppose you are writing three strings
named clan, moiety, and
distro to a writeable file named spreader, and you want to separate the fields
with tab ("\t") characters, and use ASCII CR, Carriage
Return ("\r"), as the line terminator.
Your call to the print() function would go
something like this:
print(clan, moiety, distro, file=spreader, end='\r', sep='\t')
