[Tutor] Why does print add spaces ?

[Michael Barrett]

Using list comprehension you could do the following:

>>> x = 'abcdefghi'
>>> print ','.join([i for i in x])
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i

As to why python prints the spaces?  It's just the way print works in the language.  Can't really answer why, but I'm sure the developers felt they had a reason.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
