Answer 1

It looks like you're using Python 3. In Python 3, print has been changed to a method instead of a statement. Try this:

print("hello World")

Answer 2

You have to use brackets with print:

print("Hello, World!")

Answer 3

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!')

Answer 4

In Python 3, you must do print('some code'). This is because in Python 3 it has become a function. If you must, you can use your Python 2 code and convert it to Python 3 code using 2to3 - it is a great built-in program which comes with Python.

Answer 5

In Python 3, it's print("something") , not print "something".

Answer 6

In Python 3.0, print is a regular function that requires ():

print("Hello world")
