Print almost never shows up in my production code because I always want to allow the option of redirecting the output and assigning sys.stdout is a hack for all of the reasons you've pointed out. I do use print constantly for debug output but the whole point there is that I don't have to set up a file object. I wouldn't use it even there if Python auto-coerced strings and moved stdout into __builtins__. Or else stdout.println could auto-coerce a list of objects. -- Paul Prescod - Not encumbered by corporate consensus New from Computer Associates: "Software that can 'think', sold by marketers who choose not to."
