Avoid spurious space in print

Question

I did not expect this, but:

print "AAAA",
print "BBBB"

Will output:

AAAA BBBB

With an extra space in the middle. This is actually documented.

How can I avoid that supurious space? The documentation says:

In some cases it may be functional to write an empty string to standard output for this reason.

But I do not know how to do that.

Answer 1

Get used to use print() function instead of the statement. It’s more flexible.

from __future__ import print_function

print('foo', end='')
print('bar')

Three options:

Don’t use two print statements, but concatenate the values:
```
print "AAAA" + "BBBB"
```
Use sys.stdout.write() to write your statements directly, not using the print statement
```
import sys

sys.stdout.write("AAAA")
sys.stdout.write("BBBBn")
```

from __future__ import print_function

print("AAAA", end='')
print("BBBB")
