\keyword{print} also has an extended form, defined as
\begin{verbatim}
print_stmt: '>>' expression [ (',' expression)+ [','] ] )
\end{verbatim}
In this form, the first expression after the \keyword{>>} must
evaluate to a ``file-like'' object, specifically an object that has a
\method{write()} method as described above. With the extended form,
the subsequent expressions are printed to this file-like object
instead of \code{sys.stdout}.
