For python beginners i would not mention the print statement. It won't work for python 3.x.

So, beginners: Please use print() instead of print, to save you some hazzle when using python3 :)

Without `from __future__ import print_function`, print doesn't work the same way in Py2k, though.
In 2.7, it does.
Unfortunately not.. atleast not in my 2.7.3 prompt. Only with the __future__ import :(
In 2.6.6 also works.
If you use print() in py2k, you're still using the print statement and group the argument in parentheses. It falls apart, if you try to use more than one argument, because it's interpreted as a tuple then.

Python3:

    >>> print("hello", "world")
    hello world
Python2:

    >>> print("hello", "world")
    ('hello', 'world')
