Python3 print statement doesn't work as expected

I am using Python 3.2.2

>>开发者_StackOverflow社区;> s = 'hhh'
>>> print s
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print(s)
hhh
>>> print 2*2
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print(2*2)
4

Why do I have to use print("...") to print something? If I dno't it complains with 'SyntaxError'.

As of python 3.0, print is a function. See:
