Which version of the docs are you looking at?  It looks to me like
you're using the docs for Python 2.6 or 2.7.  One of the major changes
between Python 2 and Python 3 was the switching of 'print' from a
statement to a function.  In Python 2, since print is a statement, no
parentheses are required (and thus should not be present in the docs).
 In Python 3, the parentheses are required since it is a function call
like any other.

Thanks for checking, though!
