In python 3, I'm tying to print a line without skipping a line as:
print('hello', end='')
And I'm getting this error message:
print('hello', end='')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
What's going on? How do I correct this error?
Are you absolutely sure you're using Python 3, and not accidentally invoking Python 2?

import sys; print(sys.version)and see what it prints out. Post back with the results.import sys; print(sys.version)give you?print(sys.version)works for both function and statementprint. It won’t work in python3 if some other function has been assigned to the nameprint, but that also wouldn’t generate this particular error.
