No reason to think that. 2.7 is not much different.
I suggest that you comment out the print line (add # to beginning) to 
see if the syntax error is really in the print line or if there there is 
a previous error which is only caught on that line. Also try moving the 
line to a different place (and adjusting indent as necessary) to see 
what happens. Debugging is often a matter of trying different things to 
collect more bits of information. Python, especially with IDLE or other 
editor with a Run key, make that especially easy.
