how hard is it to emulate print()

[Skaperen]

how hard is it to emulate the print() function? i have a thing which i want code to be made like it is printing. but the thing gets the lines that be printed and goes things with it. or should i use that thing that lets you print to a string (is it a generator)?

Not hard to emulate print.

import time from sys import stdout, version_info V = version_info def tick(): if V.major == 3 and V.minor > 2: return time.perf_counter() else: return time.clock() def main(): string_buffer = list('Printing') intervals = 0.2 clock = intervals + tick() while len(string_buffer): if tick() > clock: stdout.write(string_buffer.pop(0)) stdout.flush() clock += intervals main()

what is that code supposed to do?
