Printing and prompting adds a mysterious extra space

[jepler at unpythonic.net]

Use sys.stdout.write instead of print.  It will solve these problems you are
having.

If you really want to know what's going on, read the language manual,
http://docs.python.org/ref/print.html It explains the behavior of this extra
space, which is output by a successive 'print' statement.  The implementation
uses an attribute called 'softspace', which is described in
http://docs.python.org/lib/bltin-file-objects.html
