Python line endings syntax error with end=''

Question

I started learning python the other day. I have a fibonacci function that I copied from python docs. It gives a syntax error on the print statement with the end=''

I rewrote all the code manually and still i get the error

def fibonacci2(n):
    a, b = 0, 1
    while b < n:
        print(b, end=' ')
        a, b = b, a+b
    print()

It says syntax error while detecting tuple

Thanks in advance

edit: i am sorry that i forgot to write, i am using python 3.

Put from __future__ import print_function atop the file (or upgrade to Python 3). — Fred Foo

In Python 3.x you can write print(b, end=' '), you cant write print(b, end=' ') in Python 2.x . Because in Python 3.x print is function and in Python 2.x print is just statement.

If you want to use end='' in print statement in Python 2.x you should use from __future__ import print_function

it's important to remember that in python < V3.x print is not a function
