Thread: Learning Python ( Reference:Dive Into Python 5.4 )

hi. have started learn python (most hour ago). have bit of knowledge of c-programming, , wanted learn object oriented one, choose python.
within 1 hour, downloaded , installed python, , began first simple program , got error following:

code:

python 3.2.2 (default, sep  4 2011, 09:07:29) [msc v.1500 64 bit (amd64)] on win32 type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" more information. >>> 1 + 1 2 >>> print 'hello world syntaxerror: eol while scanning string literal >>> print 'hello world' syntaxerror: invalid syntax >>> print "hello world" syntaxerror: invalid syntax >>>

i don't know if there has been drastic change in syntax v2 v3 of python idle(which might happen rarely), did suggested on book's first example.

sorry if question simple one, python totally new me. in c, remember did #include<conio> printf command.
there nothing mentioned here...small favor needed here.

, forgive stupid question please.

regards, winuxuser

according this, 'print' no longer statement function (v3.0 , up).

should work:

code:

print("hello world")

hope helps.
regards.
