There's no way importing a module could add something that works like the old print statement, unless some serious magic is going on... You'd have to enclose print arguments in parentheses. Of course, the "trailing comma" form would be lost.

But you'd still have to rewrite old code to work with it, in which case you might as well change it to whatever the new way is in 3.0.
