How do I keep Python print from adding newlines or spaces? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Regain control of your console! Simply:

from __past__ import printf

where __past__.py contains:

import sys
def printf(fmt, *varargs):
    sys.stdout.write(fmt % varargs)

then:

>>> printf("Hello, world!\n")
Hello, world!
>>> printf("%d %d %d\n", 0, 1, 42)
0 1 42
>>> printf('a'); printf('b'); printf('c'); printf('\n')
abc
>>>

Bonus extra: If you don't like print >> f, ..., you can extending this caper to fprintf(f, ...).
