print and trailing white space

[Maxime Biais]

Hello,

I know how to print a string without the trailing newline with a coma
like :

print "hello word",

but this example add a white space after the string

Do you know how to avoid this white space without using write()

What's wrong with write() ? Print is merely provided for convenience.
When it's not doing what you want, you are supposed to use write(),
not come up with weird hacks for print.

ok sorry, I believed write was not buffered. I just read the library
reference part on write() and see I was wrong.

.... def write(self, s):

It's possible, but I'd rather go with write().
And, please, never ever substitute sys.stdout with a similar object.
