Have you executed the following in that shell? from __future__ import print_function That replaces the Python 2 print command with the Python 3 print function and then you would get that error message. Apologies if you've done that because I used it in one of my examples about reversed(). I didn't mean to confuse - I've just never quite learnt the Python 2 print syntax myself. There is no "from __past__ import print_command", is there? To recover the original functionality in that shell :) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
