Winner!  Thanks all.

I want to make sure I understand what this line is doing: 

> oldprint = print

Experimenting, I find this is not a rename because I can use both 
function names.  It looks it literally copies the function "print" to 
another function called "oldprint".  But now, I have a way to modify the 
builtin funciton "print" by referencing oldprint.  Without oldprint, I 
have no way to directly modify print?  For example, based on your post, I 
tried:

def print(*args, **kw):
    print(*args, sep='', **kw)

meaning print calls print (itself) with sep=''.  But this failed and I 
guess the reason is that it would keep calling itself recursively adding 
sep='' each time?  Thanks.
