He is using python 2. In college we are using python 3. Can i still use this tutorial to learn how to use this program?

If you get this: "SyntaxError: invalid syntax"

That is because the new version of Python is out and if you are using the the new version of python your code has to do the following...

print ("What ever you want to print")

Notice in the new version of python you have to put the brackets

@PandaLoLzZ Yes, python is a good starter's programming language to learn. And Pandas make me lol too.

@T10utd for the most part no, they may be from the same company but they have diffrent keywords, you may want to learn the python 3 equivalint, and then translate

@finmarx Oh so its a tradition, ok cool, thanks

[finmarx]

@AussieRaver1996 "Hello World" is always the first programme any programmer learns...hence why the tradition is continued...

[AussieRaver1996]

Why in every programming tutorial, the first test thing is "Hello World"?

[bartjoboy]

@T10utd Yes. The changes in Python 3 are relatively small (at least, for starter :P). The only thing where you need to change is the print statement. Instead of typing print "Text goes here", you need to use braces like this: print("Text goes here")

I am now having python 3.2.2, but i cannot use command print. Example: print "Hello" but it said it 's a invalid syntax.
