Using for loop to print last messages from multiple processes?

Question

Is there a way to use a "for" loop to print the success messages for all of the following geoprocesses? In this example, I am clipping the entire river system of Kansas to a pre-selected ecoregion, and then calculating the total miles of rivers within that ecoregion.

You can see that I have used the "print" function to display a custom completed message after each geoprocess succeeds, but that can be a lot of work; I think a "for" loop would work better.

You'll notice that I've used the arcpy.GetMessageCount() to print the last message, but it only prints the last message of the last geoprocessing item (I believe)

Here's the code for what I've tried. Once again, I would like to get rid of the print statements underneath each geoprocessing step:

import arcpy, sys
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "C://whatever_workspace"
env.overwriteOutput = True

inFc = "ks_ecoregions.shp"
clipFc = "ks_major_rivers.shp"
outTable = "out_table"

#Processes
try:
    #Check out extension
    arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")
    print "Extension checked out\n"

    #Make feature layer
    arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(inFc, "ks_ecoregions_layer")
    print "Feature Layer Made\n"

    #Select ecoregion
    arcpy.Select_analysis("ks_ecoregions_layer", "ks_ecoregions_select", where_clause = "US_L3NAME = 'Flint Hills'")
    print "Region selected\n"

    #Perform buffer around the selected ecoregion
    arcpy.Buffer_analysis("ks_ecoregions_select", "buffer_layer", "10 Kilometers")
    print "Buffer created\n"

    #Clip rivers to region
    arcpy.Clip_analysis(clipFc, "ks_ecoregions_select", "riverClip")
    print "Clip created\n"

    #Add table to attributes, converting "kilometers" to "miles
    arcpy.AddGeometryAttributes_management("riverClip", "LENGTH", "MILES_US")
    print "Table added\n"

    #Get summary of total miles of rivers in selected region
    arcpy.Statistics_analysis("riverclip", outTable, [["LENGTH", "SUM"]])
    print "Summation computed\n"

    #Delete intermediate data
    arcpy.Delete_management("ks_ecoregions_layer")
    print "Intermediate feature class deleted\n"
    arcpy.Delete_management("ks_ecoregions_select")
    print "Intermediate feature class deleted\n"
    arcpy.Delete_management("buffer_layer")
    print "Intermediate feature class deleted\n"

    #Get projection of original dataset
    desc = arcpy.Describe("riverClip")
    print "Data information for original projection: \nName: {0} \nData Type: {1} \nProjection: {2}\n".format(desc.name, desc.datasetType, desc.spatialReference.name)

   #Check extension back in
    arcpy.CheckInExtension("Spatial")
    print "Extension checked back in"
except arcpy.ExecuteError:
    pass

severity = arcpy.GetMaxSeverity()

if severity == 2:
    print "Error occurred: \n{0}".format(arcpy.GetMessages(2))
elif severity == 1:
    print "Warning raised: \n{1}".format(arcpy.GetMessages(1))
else:
    count = arcpy.GetMessageCount()
    print arcpy.GetMessage(count-1)

You could use Result.GetMessage/GetMessages, instead of arcpy.GetMessage/GetMessages

For example:

import arcpy

def log(result):
        # Last message
        print(result.getMessage(result.messageCount-1))

        # Or all messages...
        # print(result.getMessages())

log(arcpy.SomeTool_toolbox(some_input))
log(arcpy.AnotherTool_toolbox(some_input))
log(arcpy.DifferentTool_toolbox(some_input))

Or:

import arcpy

results = []

results.append(arcpy.SomeTool_toolbox(some_input))
results.append(arcpy.AnotherTool_toolbox(some_input))
results.append(arcpy.DifferentTool_toolbox(some_input))

for result in results:
    print(result.getMessage(result.messageCount-1))
