It's not THAT tall of an order. As I understand it Beazley's new
edition of Essential Python (don't have my copy yet) has a section on
how to write such ambidextrous code. Other than only passing one
string to "print" at a time (not that big a constraint in practice;
you simply concatenate strings with "+" rather than "," and wrap
non-stings in str()) that doesn't touch elementary aspects of the
language much.
