how do i keep python from printing a newline when it exits theprogram?

[xegfault]

Here is a simple script:
#!/usr/bin/python

print "No newline, please.",
# End of script

When the program runs, python is still printing a newline when the
program exits. How does one keep python from doing so?

Thanks!

Use sys.stdout.writ e() instead of print or clear the softspace flag

sys.stdout.soft space = False

after the print statement. Google 'site:mail.pyth on.org exit newline' for
some background.
