I don't know, but I also frequently forget the parentheses around 
`print`. I do have Python 2 experience so maybe it's just a habit that 
I've been unable to grow out of yet. OTOH I also regulary use `printf()` 
and friends in C and C++ and sometimes even PHP, and there I never 
forget the parentheses. I don't know how, I don't know why, it just happens.
