I'm getting this error in Python3.2 on a simple print statement. I'm going through some tutorials, and this is exactly the code example is written:
fh = open('lines.txt')
for line in fh.readlines():
print(line, end="")
But this is what i get
File "./forloop.py", line 5
print(line, end="")

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Any ideas why?
As I said in the comment, I'm quite sure you are on 2.x.
Try this
import sys
print sys.version
If that doesn't give you an error, and says "2.x" then you are certainly. using 2.x
If it gives you a syntax error, its "3.x"
(besides the obvious task of checking what sys.version holds, "print sys.version" is valid 2.x syntax but not valid 3.x syntax)
That error is generated by Python 2.x. Be sure that you are actually invoking 3.x, whether via command line or via shebang.
