One advantage of the way it works now is that if you have a class, function or module when you're not expecting it, print tells you what's going on. Compare these:
print('9'.isdigit) isdigit
vs
print('9'.isdigit) <built-in method isdigit of str object at 0x01D5A038>
Fortunately, that particular example won't change, because '9'.isdigit is not a function -- it is a bound method. They're different object types. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
