print automatically ends the printed text with a \n. You can avoid this in two
ways:

1) Print everything you need at once:

---
print '%s, my good friend, I just ate %d hamburgers!' % (name, count)
---

2) Use sys.stdout:

---
sys.stdout.write("This is on a line! ")
sys.stdout.write("This is on the same line!\n")
sys.stdout.write("This is not!\n")
---
