Yes, that made me more or less abandon my attempt to learn Python.

I had Python 3 on my computer (came on one of those freebie discs you get with
magazines, I think) and my son had a book on it, so I thought with the program
and the instructions I should be able to learn something. 

It took me a week, with some help from this forum, to get the Print statement
to work.
