To be fair, Python 3 provides a very clear error message if you try to use print as a statement, although I don't know when exactly that was added:

    $ echo 'print "Hello World"' > test.py && python3 test.py
      File "test.py", line 1
        print "Hello World"
                          ^
    SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("Hello World")?
