Printing error messages (as opposed to diagnostic log messages) to the Standard Error stream (sys.stderr
) is a good habit. This is done by passing file=std.stderr
to [print](http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#print)()
. In Eclipse, the sys.stderr
messages are printed in a different color (red above) which is great to spot the error messages.
import sys
print("Checking oxygen tank", i, "... FAIL!", file=sys.stderr)
