Alex is right, David and Sander judged too quickly:
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 15:52:39)
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print("Lesson Two")
Lesson Two
>>> print("a", "b")
('a', 'b')
Note the python version? It works. The parentheses are just
parentheses, not a function call. But it still works. The actual error
is likely on the line before the print statement.
