[FIXED] How do I keep Python print from adding newlines or spaces?

Issue

In python, if I say

print 'h'

I get the letter h and a newline. If I say

print 'h',

I get the letter h and no newline. If I say

print 'h',
print 'm',

I get the letter h, a space, and the letter m. How can I prevent Python from printing the space?

The print statements are different iterations of the same loop so I can't just use the + operator.

Solution

import sys

sys.stdout.write('h')
sys.stdout.flush()

sys.stdout.write('m')
sys.stdout.flush()

You need to call sys.stdout.flush() because otherwise it will hold the text in a buffer and you won't see it.
