In 2.7 there should be a way to get print() to work like 3.1...

In general terms you need to use string formatting or catenation
to add the appropriate end string. In the most common case of
simply suppressing the newline just add a comma:

v3.1 # suppress newline
print(spam end='')
v2.x
print spam,

v3.1 # add arbirary postfix
print(value, end=' cents')
v2.x
print value, " cents",

HTH,
