> print chevron in python2 is super awesome

Print chevron is super awful, it's unreadable, hard to remember and difficult to search for.

The print function was a welcome improvement: it's not a statement (so can be used in a lambda, no need to fall back to sys.stdout.write), it doesn't use weird-ass syntax to redirect or suppress the final newline and it's more extensible (e.g. "end" or "flush" kwargs would have been… challenging to add to the keyword version)
