I would guess that he invented print before sys.stdout. :) The main reason I use print (for debugging) is because a) it doesn't require me to coerce variables to strings explicitly. That's why I want autocoercion everywhere. b) it doesn't require me to import sys. That's an argument for making stdout (or sys!) a builtin c) it just seems less technical for newbies than the unpronouncable string of consonants "std". Overall, I think the language would be better off if print were gone. There are more generalized ways to do what it does. -- Paul Prescod - Not encumbered by corporate consensus New from Computer Associates: "Software that can 'think', sold by marketers who choose not to."
