Python - Whitespace after

Question

Why is there a white space that outputs when I print something like this in Python 3? Is it in the '\n' character itself?

print (my_var1, '\n', my_var_2)
Output :

1
 2
 

I know it can be fixed but why do we get the space usually?

Answer 1

print adds a single space after every argument, including `\n'. You might want to combine the three strings into a single argument yourself.

print(my_var1 + '\n' + my_var2)

or

print('\n'.join([my_var1, my_var2]))

Better than either of these would be to use the format string method:

print('{}\n{}'.format(my_var1, my_var2))

which both handles conversion to str if necessary and eliminates any temporary objects.
