print - parameters ?

Hi,
sorry for this probably very simple question.

How can I build a parameter list for 'print' ?

Background:
I'd like to write a function like

def myprint(Msg,*Args) :
   print (Msg,)+Args

when called as

myprint(MyMsg,x)

it should be equivalent to

print  MyMsg,x

but, e.g.

class ABC :
	def __str__(self) :
		return "ABC-class"

x=ABC()

myprint('this is',x)

gives

('this is', <__main__.ABC instance at 0x4084fc8c>)

instead of

this is ABC-class

What am I missing (what sort of thing is the parameter list of print) ?
Many thanks for a hint,
