Putting a comma next to what you want to print prevents Python from
adding a newline, e.g.

>>> for i in xrange(5):
... 	print i,
...
0 1 2 3 4

But it does add a space. The best may be to concatenate every string
you want to print, e.g.:

>>> to_print = []
>>> for i in xrange(5):
... 	to_print.append(i)
...
>>> string_to_print = "".join([str(i) for i in to_print])
>>> print string_to_print
01234

It's left as an exercise figuring out the whys and the whats of the
code. If you have any doubts just holler.

With my best regards,
