No, end is a new optional parameter for the print function in Python 3.
Recall that in Python2 print was a command whereas in Python 3 it is a 
function which has a couple of new options:

---------------
Help on built-in function print in module builtins:

print(...)
     print(value, ..., sep=' ', end='\n', file=sys.stdout)

     Prints the values to a stream, or to sys.stdout by default.
     Optional keyword arguments:
     file: a file-like object (stream); defaults to the current sys.stdout.
     sep:  string inserted between values, default a space.
     end:  string appended after the last value, default a newline.
