In Python 2, print is a statement. In Python 3 it's a function and
behaves like you're expecting.
However, the behavior you're seeing is odd (printing parentheses is a
surprise unless there's more going on than you've listed)
If you want them consistent across both versions, add a statement at the
very top:
from __future__ import print_function
