Actually, it doesn't put a space after the "Hello.", the next print
statement puts a space before its output.
print "Hello.",
print "World"
prints "Hello. World"
but:
import sys
print "Hello.",
sys.stdout.softspace=0
print "World"
prints "Hello.World"

As shown above you can suppress the space, but you have to do it for every
item you print, and you still have to import sys somewhere.
e.g.
def nospace(s):
import sys
sys.stdout.softspace=0
return s
print "Hello.",nospace("World")
print "Hello.",
print nospace("World")
