Python: Software Version Checker

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# Python uses separate opcodes for object printing and newline printing.
# With multiple threads printing you would encounter newlines printed out of turn separate from the objects.
# Joining the strings before calling print(...) fixes the issue.
def safe_print(*args, sep=' ', end='\n', file=None, flush=False):
    # NOTE: Using end=None, or removing end='', will result in an extra newline in the output.
    print(sep.join(map(str, args)) + end, sep=sep, end='', file=file, flush=flush)
