in that example probably no difference - readability counts.
but if you want to display a slightly different message then you could 
the following

print "may age is %s years",% my_age

which is arguably nicer than
print "my age is",
print my_age,
print "Years"

& less error prone


you can of course expand this format with multiple insertions & even 
explicit formatting for specific data types.
