+ \keyword{print} also has an extended form, defined as
+ 
+ \begin{verbatim}
+ print_stmt: '>>' expression [ (',' expression)+ [','] ] )
+ \end{verbatim}
+ 
+ In this form, the first expression after the \keyword{>>} must
+ evaluate to a ``file-like'' object, specifically an object that has a
+ \method{write()} method as described above.  With the extended form,
+ the subsequent expressions are printed to this file-like object
+ instead of \code{sys.stdout}.
