This is a feature.

>>> print "a", "b"

is just an easy way of saying:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.write("a")
>>> sys.stdout.write(" ")
>>> sys.stdout.write("b")

so to get rid of the space:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.write("a")
>>> sys.stdout.write("b")

or:

>>> print "a" + "b"

and for numbers:

>>> a = 1
>>> b = 1
>>> print `a` + `b`   # note back-ticks

or:

>>> result = "a"
>>> result = "a" + "b"
>>> print result
