That is because in Python 3  they have replaced the print statement with the print function   The syntax is now more or less the same as before  but it requires parens   From the  what s new in python 3  docs   Old  print  The answer is   2 2 New  print  The answer is   2 2   Old  print x              Trailing comma suppresses newline New  print x  end         Appends a space instead of a newline  Old  print                Prints a newline New  print                You must call the function   Old  print  gt  gt sys stderr   fatal error  New  print  fatal error   file sys stderr   Old  print  x  y          prints repr  x  y   New  print  x  y          Not the same as print x  y

The syntax is changed in new 3 x releases rather than old 2 x releases  for example in python 2 x you can write  print  Hi new world  but in the new 3 x release you need to use the new syntax and write it like this  print  Hi new world    check the documentation  http   docs python org 3 3 library functions html highlight print print
