It looks like you re using Python 3 0  in which print has turned into a callable function rather than a statement   print  Hello world

Because in Python 3  print statement has been replaced with a print   function  with keyword arguments to replace most of the special syntax of the old print statement  So you have to write it as  print  Hello World     But if you write this in a program and someone using Python 2 x tries to run it  they will get an error  To avoid this  it is a good practice to import print function   from   future   import print function   Now your code works on both 2 x  amp  3 x   Check out below examples also to get familiar with print   function   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     Source  What   s New In Python 3 0

In Python 3  print became a function  This means that you need to include parenthesis now like mentioned below   print  Hello World
