Question

Problem is with running Python scripts(modules) under Windows XP.

Yesterday I installed Python 3.3.0 version for Windows. The problem is that I CAN use command line and IDLE to calculate (it works without errors in output), but if I try simple print “Hello.” , output in command prompt, and in GUI IDLE shows me:

Syntax error: invalid syntax

Path variable is set to default directory “C:\Python33\”, and again I can use it for calculation, but running examples from online resources or that simple stuff is currently for me impossible.

Answer 1

you need to use something like print("hello") in python 3.x

print has been converted to a function in python 3.x.

read this :`Print is a function

Python 3.1.2 (release31-maint, Dec  9 2011, 20:50:50) 
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print 3
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print 3
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

>>> print(3)                  # works fine
3
