Why would you write a statement that is so demonstrably false?
- mehrdadn 7y agoProbably because it's hyperbole to get a point across.
- jiffyjeff 7y agoI don't know if the author was intending to be hyperbolic -- I for one prefer Python 2's print. I would've preferred keeping print the way it was and using a new keyword for the new functionality.
- aequitas 7y agoThe change in the print statement was also what put me off from Python 3 for a long while. But back then there where also no big benefits to be had from moving to 3. Nowadays I even prefer the print function as it makes it easer to convert to log functions.
- WilliamEdward 7y agoI still don't see why the print function justifies trying to keep the language alive. You don't prefer that print act as a function and not a keyword? Maybe you don't, but is the change really not worth giving up 2?
