What is 'print' in Python?
<p>I understand what print does, but of what "type" is the operator? I think it's a function, but why does this fail?</p>

<pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt;print print
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
</code></pre>

<p>Isn't <code>print</code> a function? Shouldn't it print something like this?</p>

<pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt;print print
&lt;function print at ...&gt;
</code></pre>
