Python print statement

Question

Is this statement valid
print "Hello World"
because in unix it gets executed but in windows it ask us to put the braces()

Answer 1

#to simplify visphs post further into an example:
print "hi" #works in python2.7
print("hi") #works in all python versions

Answer 2

You can also do this:

apples = print

apples ("Hi")

... which I think is funny

Answer 3

It's not a difference due to OS, but to Python version:
Before Python3, 'print' was a statement and could be used as a function ( with the 'braces' () )
Since Python3, it's no more a statement and need to be use as a function call ( with the 'braces' () )

Answer 4

@Ahri:
print("hi") # works in all Python versions ;P
