macOS Python Single Spaced Output?

[CaptainZap]

How come it seems when Python outputs things to Terminal, everything is double spaced? Like this is the output from Python

And this is from the cat command

And yes, it is an ice cream cone. Anyways, is there a way to change this?

Post some code?

If you had this in a text file

     .-"`'"-.
   /        \
   |        |
   /'---'--`\
  |          |
  \.--.---.-./
  (_.--._.-._)
    \=-=-=-/
     \=-=-/
      \=-/
       \/

And then used this Python code

for line in open('textfile.txt','r'):
	print line

It looks like the first picture, and then this looks like the second picture

cat textfile.txt

From the Python Reference Manual:

A "\n" character is written at the end, unless the print statement ends with a comma.

So change your code to:

for line in open('textfile.txt','r'):
	print line,

Well played sir, thank you. I had read that too, I just thought it allowed you to write to the same line

It does if you add the comma. But "line" already contains a \n from the text file, so that is creating the new line.
