Python3 print output not working properly

Question

I am using Python 3.2.2

>>> s = 'hhh' >>> print s SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> print(s) hhh >>> print 2*2 SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> print(2*2) 4 

Why do I need to use print("...") for printing? If I do not complain about "SyntaxError".

As in python 3.0, print is a function. Cm.:
