Which version of Python are you using?  Make sure you're using the
same version of interpreter and tutorial.  'print' was one of the big
changes between Python 2 and Python 3 (in Python 2 it was a statement,
while in Python 3 it is a function), so a tutorial written with Python
2 in mind will have some issues if you're using Python 3.

If you've already checked that, try copying and pasting your entire
interpreter session into a reply here, and we'll be more able to
figure out what's going on.

Hope this helps,
