ve been doing basic programs in Python at school, but we're now on a 6 week=
 holiday (Summer Holidays). So I decided I would try and download Python an=
d learn a bit more while I'm not doing anything. I have now downloaded it, =
however, I have immediately noticed something.

 then it just says there's an invalid syntax. I've tried adding a colon aft=
er 'print' and I've tried adding brackets around "Welcome to Python!". But =
nothing is working, can someone give me a hand please.

Did you use the right brackets? It should look like this:

print("Welcome to Python!")
