So, I just picked one of these at random....

You have not added "from __future__ import print_function", so you're
relying on a Python 2 parsing oddity to make this work.  If anybody ever
adds a second parameter, things will break.  I think that if you really
want to support both versions (which seems like the right goal) you should
add the import and do it properly.

Thanks,
