python : comma in print as " "

Question

the `,` in print added a white space ``` >>> print "a","b" a b ``` If I need a `	`, I put ``` >>> print "a","	","b" a b ``` How I can change the output of `,` to a `	`?

Accepted Answer

You can import the `print()` function from `__future__` and use `sep='	'`, `print()` function was introduced in python 3, and it replaced the `print` statement used in python 2.x:

```
In [1]: from __future__ import print_function

In [2]: print('a','b',sep='	')
a   b
```

help on `print()`:

```
print(...)
    print(value, ..., sep=' ', end='
', 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.
```
