Actually I'm pretty sure what happened was that the "#! usr/bin/python" was in
a module that was being imported. So the Python interpreter cached it or
somehow crashed randomly, which meant that the print was working as a keyword
instead of a function.
But when I removed that "#! usr/bin/python" line and then rewrote the print
statements, it went back to working normally.
Thank you for the help though!

But then how come it was working earlier for me without that import statement.
Python doesn't interpret it as a statement exclusively, before it worked fine
as a function.

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
