Syntax error on print with Python 3 [duplicate]
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm running pywin32 build 216.1 and am having trouble using the simple print function - for example:
>>> print 'Hello!'
should return:
Hello!
but instead I get:
Traceback ( File "<interactive input>", line 1
print 'Hello!'
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
It doesn't matter what I try and use with print, it gives me this same error. I am able to do other things just fine as long as they don't involve the use of the print function. Can anyone help?
In Python 3, print is a function, not a statement. Call it like:
print("Hello!")

I made a program in Python 3.7 that doesn't run in Python 2.7.6. The program is meant to break seconds up into seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. The issue is happening with this particular part of the code:
return f' {remainder} {metric}' + ('s,' if remainder != 1 else ','), int(val / metric_val) # returns 'second' or 'seconds' as well as a new 'current_time', rounded down
And when I try to run it, I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
from solution import *
File "/home/codewarrior/solution.py", line 24
return f' {remainder} {metric}' + ('s,' if remainder != 1 else ','), int(val / metric_val)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
What has to be changed to make this code work for 2.7.6?
I see that this Kata is available only in Python version 2.7.6.
"f strings" formatting is not available in this version, thus you get an invalid syntax error.
The moment I copied and pasted the error message, I realised that what must have caused the error message was that the idea of formatting a string with using code like f'{value}' mustn't have existed in Python version 2.7.6 and switching to using code like '{}'.format(value) was required. I tried this and the code was successful in Python 2.7.6.

What does "SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'" mean in Python?

I am using python version 3.5.2 and the print function isn't working for me. THis is the code. I recieve an error saying: "missing preantheses in calling to print"
print 'Output After Training:'
thanks
Add the parenthesis:
print('Output After Training:')
If you need compatibility for code so works with Python 2 or 3, use:
from __future__ import print_function
at the start of the code file and then use Python 3 way of using print().

The answer to your question is in the error... missing parentheses in calling to print
Python3 requires you to use parentheses when using print - i.e. print("text")

I have installed bs4 and Python 3.4.4.
>>> print soup.prettify()
File "<stdin>", line 1
print soup.prettify()
^
Syntax Error: invalid syntax
In Python 3.x, print is a function, not a statement.
So, you want to call it as print(soup.prettify()).

Why does the following code crash?
I'm following along with the tutorial, and it seems my version is a bit newer than the one I'm following. The syntax I wrote makes complete sense to me, yet claims that it's invalid syntactically:
var1 = "Hello world! "
print var1
or:
print "Hello world!"
In Python 3.x, print is a function, so you have to call it.
For example,
print('hello world')

Once again Python's helpful error messages make me eat my keyboard.
I've checked the whole script forwards and backwards but can't find any "syntax error(s)".
Is there a decent debugger for Python or a helpful website which is able to scan my code for errors?
C:\Users\Daapii\Desktop>"foo.py"
File "C:\Users\Daapii\Desktop\foo.py", line 26
print "test"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Python why u no tell me more!
If this is Python 3, then the print function now requires parenthesis. Try print("test").
(EDIT: If Python continues to make you want to eat your keyboard, this might help.)
print is a function in Python 3:
print ("test")
