Okay, I'll try :-)

Pausing can for example be accomplished by reading a line from
the standard input:

raw_input()

The print-Statement is very easy, too. You just give it something to
print to standard output:

print "Hello World"
print 10

A trailing comma will prevent the newline from being added at the end.
You can separate different things to print by putting a comma in
between:

print "Hello World!",10,

This will print the String "Hello World! 10 " to the terminal. Note
that each comma (including the trailing one) inserts one space.
Of course, you can use string concatenation (with +) instead of
commas thereby avoiding the extra spaces. In these cases you might
want to use str(x) to convert object x into a string:

print "Hello World!"+str(10)

Finally, you can print to a different file, e.g. standard error,
by using the following syntax:

print >> sys.stderr, "This goes to the standard error."

Hope that helps,
Peter
