print as a function and headache-inducing string handling hardly resemble the python I came to like either. those two things bring python3 down from great to meh for me. biggest language change blunders I've ever seen. I feel a wave of disappointment every time I have to type a paren on a print call in python3.

I can't even tell if this is sarcastic or not

it's not. the language has abandoned its principles of simplicity and convenience.

right. by adding parentheses to the print function ... ? Surely you have bigger things to worry about

> print as a function

yessss... because a pair of parentesys are too much... I always hated that I couldn't pass "print" as a callback, or the weird >> syntax to write on stderr
