[New-bugs-announce] [issue8029] bug in 2to3 dealing with "print FOO, " followed by "sys.stdout.write('')"

[Trent Mick]

New submission from Trent Mick <trentm at gmail.com>:

According to http://docs.python.org/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-print-statement the following with result in the print statement NOT printing a trailing space:

    import sys
    print u"ASD",; sys.stdout.write(u"")

However, 2to3 currently translates this to:

    import sys
    print("ASD", end=' '); sys.stdout.write("")

It *should* translate to:

    import sys
    print("ASD", end='')

You can also see the discussion of this on this lib3to2 bug report:

and translation of this between 2to3 and 3to2 here:
