Development Help for an absolute programming beginner (DONE)

Well I decided today to find out a bit more about programming, and decided to start with python, as it is meant to be easy to learn, and free to develop.

However, when writing my first program, print "Hello, World" it doesn't seem to work, and every site/book I've read doesn't explain how this might happen, as there really shouldn't be anything wrong with it.

Here is what I have tried so far.

Python 3.2.2 (default, Sep 4 2011, 09:51:08) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> print "hello, world"
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print "hello, world
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
>>> print "hello, world"
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print "hello, world "
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print hello, world
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print "hello, world'
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
>>>

Thanks for any help


EDIT: Found out why it wasn't working, it should be print ("hello, world!)

 

Looking at examples, it shouldn't be this ?

Code:

print 'hello, world'

Note: never programmed in python.

 

I have just downloaded Python 2.7.2 instead of 3.2 and it seems to work, any suggestions?

EDIT: Found a solution

 

That doesn't work either

EDIT: found a solution

 

Not sure what is problem in your case then :

 

In python 3, it changes to print ("Hello, World!")

Thanks anyway
