Hi I am new to Python and have currently copied following script:

# filename is printer.py
import sys
for arg in sys.argv:
    print arg    # the zeroth element is the module name
raw_input("press any key")    # a trick to keep the python console open

I am trying to get the arguments followed by the module name.
But running this code gives me following error:

U:\printer.py
    File "U:\printer.py", line 6
      print arg # zeroth element is the module name
              ^
SyntaxError: Invalid syntax

Does anyone know what could be wrong here?
I am using Python 3.2
