You are lying to us somehow.  That attempt to print (as you've written 
it) does not produce the the line of output you've indicated.  Instead 
it produces a syntax error, because Python does not use a colon in that 
situation.

So change your print:(...) lines to print(...) (without the colon) and 
try again.  If there is further trouble, ask another question, but 
please cut and paste the actual and *exact* results into the email.
