Oh well, I imagine this is easy, but I just don't know... (what I get
for using a new computer and OS today)
In Python 3, print is not a statement, but a function. So you need
parentheses around its argument(s).
The first time, you were presumably using a 2.x Python. You can check with
import sys
print (sys.version)
Incidentally, 3.1 is much more stable than 3.0. And most of us do also
keep a 2.x around, for all those things that aren't ready for 3.x
