Hi!

Just like many, I want the projects in which I work on to move to Python 3.

And incredibly, there are a few users on the same project who refuse to 
use python 3 simply because of the print statement.

That has probably already been discussed, but since I actually couldn't 
find anything relevant about, I decided to ask here anyway.

What are the changes of something like

from __past__ import print_statement

or to make both

print

and

print()

work on Python 3 ?

Sorry for the dumb question, but although it's not a very pure solution, 
it might be one that would be very well accepted.
