It's only obvious if you're using Python 3.x.  You have forgotten the 
parentheses in the call to the print() function.

On the other hand, if this is Python 2.x, I have no idea.  Next time, 
please paste the actual error, not paraphrased.  The error message 
includes a traceback. and a pointer to where in the line the error was 
detected.  If it's pointing at the end of the second token, you must be 
running Python 3.x

And since you're using that annoying googlegroups, see this:
