[Tutor] simple (fnord) newbie question

As the following code illustrates, I'm just learning the absolute basics
at this point, and I'm trying to pin down a minor detail. The function
performs a couple of simple math formulas, but my question is about the
period standing by itself in quotes at the end of a couple of printed
statements.
The way I have it now, an additional empty character space is printed
before the "." such that the first statement printed (for example),
Variable 'a' equals 1 and variable 'b' equals 100 .
How can I make it read, instead:
Variable 'a' equals 1 and variable 'b' equals 100.
Here's the function:
>>> def addnum(a, b):
print "Variable 'a' equals", a, "and variable 'b' equals", b, "."
while a <= b:
print b, "minus variable 'a' equals", b - a
print "Variable 'a' is added to its own value."
a = a + a
print "Variable 'a' now equals", a, "."
Thanks in advance,
Rob
