Here,

from itertools import product
for row,column in product(range(10), range(10)): print("*", end="")


Problem solved :)

On a more serious note, they're not the same code, in the same way than

print("foo")
print("bar")

is not the same code than

print("foo")print("bar")

You're fooled by your editor which displays 2 different characters the 
same way. Tab or space does matter in python, get over it and move on 
with your python life. Actually python is a great debugger for 
misconfigured text editors.
