This example doesn't call any functions. The print statement was removed in Python 3 and turned into a function, so you do need parentheses to call it and the example above is a syntax error. Python 2 (which had a print statement instead of a print function) didn't support f-strings. And f-strings, unlike JavaScript's template strings, are not function calls.

In other words, yes, you consistently use parentheses to call functions in Python.

IIRC, they're syntactic sugar over "string".format(locals())

They're really not, the internals are different, many features were added.

With the exception of properties, of course.
