[FIXED] Meaning of >> in print statement

Issue

I was wondering what does print >> dbfile, key mean in python. What is the >> supposed to do?

Solution

It should be noted that the >> syntax is specific to Python 2.x. In Python 3.x, that syntax goes away and code needs to be changed as follows:

print >>f, "Hello world"           # Python 2.x

print("Hello world", file=f)       # Python 3.x
