A stupid newbie question about output...

Can someone explain why this code results in two different outputs?
> for os in comp.CIM_OperatingSystem ():
> print os.Name.split("|")[0] + " Service Pack", os.ServicePackMajorVersion
> osVer = os.Name.split("|")[0] + " Service Pack", os.ServicePackMajorVersion
> print osVer
the first print statement gives me this:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
and the second print statement gives me this:
(u'Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack', 3)
I know this is a grossly oversimplified example.
The ultimate goal is to get certain things from the system via WMI and
then use that data in other scripts to generate test case scripts for
a testing tool.
So given this example, what I ultimately want is to create a class
full of this stuff, that I can call from another program like this:
> import SystemInformation
> comp = SystemInformation()
> # Get OS info
> OSVersion = comp.osVer
OR just print the result
> print comp.osVer
Can this be cleared up by using some sort of formatting in print (like
sprintf) or am I going to have to manipulate the WMI results before
sending them out??
Thanks
Jeff
