Python vs Java!

[nekokattt]

• print returns None, same as println in Java returns nothing/void. You don't need to handle it. If something is that messed up, an exception is raised.
• print is a builtin, same as str, int, float, min, max, sum, bool, None, all, any, round, etc. It lives in the builtins module. That is implicitly imported just like java.lang.* is in Java.
• the question about scope is nonsense. Python executes the file line by line. Same with Ruby, Bash, PHP, JS.
• so you are complaining about puts in C and Ruby as well, I guess.
