And it's not built-in or special in C, or a bunch of other languages.

Which resulted in unmitigatable problems, such as that you can't mock
it for testing or redirection purposes, and it demands syntactic magic
to do its work - for instance, the only option is a "soft space" in
place of a newline, where the print function allows full customization
of both end= and sep=. The print function is DEFINITELY an
improvement. I would also posit that an sprintf() built-in function
instead of str.__mod__ would have meant there was less kickback
against printf-style formatting, because it wouldn't have had the
strange behaviour around single-argument use. (It's pretty simple to
write, of course, but built-ins are extremely significant to
perception. def sprintf(fmt, *args): return fmt % args) Syntax is NOT
always an improvement.

Huh? Aside from the fact that you're constructing a useless list of
Nones, what's the error?

Also: Why is print special here? Maybe you accidentally called
frobnicate on those x's and you shouldn't have. How is Python supposed
to know that that's an error?
