Thanks Richard, I'll use the downloaded manuals for reference to Python 2.7 and
just forget about the Python website documentation for now.

Subject: [pythonvis] Problem finding info on print statement
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.
