Using the builtin name 'str' as a parameter name is a bad idea.
Use 's' or 'string' or something instead.

The line above has to be indented. Leave off the trailing ';'

This is not valid in Python 3, where print() is a function
This line would have to be 'print(s)'. However, the function as written 
is senseless; just call print() directly.

And empty return at the end does nothing. There is already an implicit 
'return None' at the end of every function.

delete 'print' -- it is another syntax error.
