This is a kludge but, when I first started on Python in Windows, I needed to
print.  So I wrote my output to a file and ran it through wordpad to print.
Like so:

os.system('wordpad -p printfile.txt')

I don't know what the equivelent would be for Mac, but I thought this might
help till somebody who knows what they're talking about chimes in.

Good Luck,
David
