Well, for starters, you're almost certainly not copy/pasting from the
shell session as the colon after the "print" is a syntax error:

  Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct  8 2014, 10:45:20) 
  [GCC 4.9.1] on linux
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> print:('hellow world!')
    File "<stdin>", line 1
      print:('hellow world!')
           ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax

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.

 >>> print("Hello World")
Hello World
 >>> myname=input("What is your name? ")
What is your name? John
 >>> print ("Your name is ", myname)
Your name is  John
