What function print()? You're calling the print STATEMENT. It doesn't
exist in any namespace, it's a Python keyword like "if", "for", "return",
and similar.
Note: this changes in Python 3, where print becomes a function like
len(), chr(), max(), and similar. In Python 3, you would write:
print("hello\n")
and the function lives in the built-in namespace.
BTW, print (both versions) automatically prints a newline at the end of
the output, so printing "hello\n" will end up with an extra blank line.
Is that what you wanted?
