"print" has changed from a statement to > a function, so the above syntax would be invalid in Python 3. Note also that in Python 3 you should change the line "n = n2 / m" to "n = n2 // m" because the syntax for integer division has also changed. And regardless of your Python version, the last line should probably be "return rtn", not just "rtn".
