Syntax error for print

[jsm4321]

IDLE 3.0


Any idea on why I am getting this error.
I have just started learning python and I am stuck at first thing
itself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

The print of Python3 needs parentheses:

print(var)

Older Python versions are different.

Thanks Bearophile.

I should have used a tutorial for Python 3.0

I was reading tutorial for Python 2.5
