In what may have seemed like an April Fool’s
Day joke to some, Python creator Guido van Rossum recently floated
the idea of bringing back the print statement—several months after
Python 2, which had such a statement, reached its end of life. In fact, Van
Rossum acknowledged that readers of his message to the python-ideas mailing
list might be checking the date: “No, it’s not April 1st.” He
was serious about the idea—at least if others were interested in having the
feature—but he withdrew it fairly quickly when it became clear that there
were few takers. The main reason he brought it up is interesting, though:
the new parser for CPython makes it
easy to bring back print from Python 2 (and before).
