Well, for starters, you're almost certainly not copy/pasting from the
shell session as the colon after the "print" is a syntax error:

  Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct  8 2014, 10:45:20) 
  [GCC 4.9.1] on linux
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> print:('hellow world!')
    File "<stdin>", line 1
      print:('hellow world!')
           ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
