> Is it possible to replace the print statement with one of mine function ?

No precisely because the print statement is a statement (or more accurately
a command) not a function.

But of course you can create your own print *function*, just call it
a slightly different name - printit(), or display(), or logit(), or 
somesuch.

Guido's call. Guido has intimated that he thinks this was one
of his (few) mistakes in building Python.

You will need to do a search/replace of all print statements with your
new function, but its doable.
