Regarding ‘think python’ chapter 1 on using the help system Al noted at yesterday’s meeting that the help system did nothing for the print statement. I think that is because print is deprecated and they would like to promote the print function used in Python 3. You can find information on print in the docs provided with python. From the start menu, open the python submenu and select python manuals. Then open python language reference, then simple statements, arrow down to print and open it. What you need to know to use print is that the print statement takes one or more comma separated expressions that are evaluated, converted to strings and printed. In the output each output expression is separated by a single space. If a trailing comma is included, the newline is not output and the next print will append to the end of the line. Richard
