Problem with python

[Rob Cliffe]

Well, up to a point.
In Python 2 the output from
     print 1, 2
is '1 2'
In Python 3 if you add brackets:
     print(1, 2)
the output is the same.
But if you transplant that syntax back into Python 2, the output from
     print(1, 2)
is '(1, 2)'.  The brackets have turned two separate items into a single 
tuple.
If you want Python 2- and 3-compatibility you must find a work-around 
such as
     print('%d %d' % (1,2))
     print('%s %s' % (1,2))
     print(str(1) + ' ' + str(2))

Similarly
     'print' in Python 2 outputs a blank line.
     'print()' in Python 3 outputs a blank line.  In python 2 it prints 
a line containing a blank tuple: '()'.
A 2/3-compatible way of outputting a blank line is
     print('')

Best wishes
