Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu> added the comment: 1. Rather than add a blank line to the output, the input should have the newline suppressed with \ (which has been done in previous examples). print("""\ 2. It is rather difficult to see that there is no blank at the end (highlight with mouse). I can imagine that either the formatter or display system might delete even if in the master .rst file. In interactive use, the interpreter will go to a new line anyway before printing the >>> prompt. The intent and effect of end=' ' is that the outputs are all on one line (as with 2.x print) instead of each on a separate line ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10304> _______________________________________
