In python, if I say

print 'h'

I get the letter h and a newline. If I say 

print 'h',

I get the letter h and no newline. If I say

print 'h',
print 'm',

I get the letter h, a space, and the letter m. How can I prevent Python from printing the space?

The print statements are different iterations of the same loop so I can't just use the + operator.

In Python 3, use

print('h', end='')

to suppress the endline terminator, and

print('a', 'b', 'c', sep='')

to suppress the whitespace separator between items. See the documentation for print
