I get an error only if I use the entirety of it as a program. Is that 
what you're doing, perhaps?

It's not actually a program, but the output from an interactive session.

You start IDLE (I'm assuming that what you're using) and it prints:

     Python 3.10.1 (tags/v3.10.1:2cd268a, Dec  6 2021, 19:10:37) [MSC 
v.1929 64
     bit (AMD64)] on win32

and then shows a prompt.

At the prompt you type:

     print("Hello World")

and it print the response:

     Hello World

and so on.
