Having print as a function instead as a statement provides flexibility and ease of customizing.

Printing to anything but stdout, printing with a separator, using the end keyword, etc, all became easier.

For basic calculations, let me recommend bc to you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bc_(programming_language)

This way you don't even have to type "print" ;)

I don't need to type it in python also, unless I do some loops or functions.

I tried bc once and it was too big learning curve for just simple calc that indo in python.

If you use the REPL as a calculator you don't even need print at all! The terminal will automatically print the result of your last statement!

    >>> 5+5
    10

Yes I know that.

But look at my comment above, I use also for loops and functions.
