Lots of ways! Here is the simplest, but longest. Call print three times,
being careful to not allow a newline to be printed until the end:

print word,  # note the comma, that suppresses the new line
print word,
print word  # no comma


What if you wanted to print it fifty times? Use a loop.


for i in range(50):
    print word,  # note the comma
# At the end of the loop, print a blank to get a new line.
print



Here's a nice trick that's a bit more mysterious for beginners, but works
well:


print ' '.join([word]*3)


If you don't understand it, break it up into each piece:


[word]*3 creates a list [word, word, word]

' '.join(the list) makes a string with the words separated by spaces:

' '.join(['quick', 'brown', 'fox']) => 'quick brown fox'


and then you finally print the result.
