I have just started using python3.3. The shell looks like this:

Python 3.3.2 (v3.3.2:d047928ae3f6, May 16 2013, 00:06:53) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> print ("hello world")

It prints hello world correclty, but in the command line it shows error in line 1 (i.e Python 3.3.2 (v3.3.2:d047928ae3f6, May 16 2013, 00:06:53) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 ) declaring it as a syntax error.

What is the problem??

  • @hcwhsa: probably he wants to do print ("hello world") in bash command line Commented Sep 19, 2013 at 9:28
  • @justhalf Could be, but it's hard to say anything unless OP provides actual traceback. Commented Sep 19, 2013 at 9:37
  • You have shown us the code that works, but you have failed to show us the code that doesn't work. Please copy-paste the precise command line you issued, and the response that you see. Commented Sep 19, 2013 at 14:51

You are specifying the syntax incorrectly on the command line. The correct syntax is:

$ python3 -c 'print ("hello world")'

That's not an error. That's what appears when you open the interactive interpreter by typing $ python3, telling you what version of python you have and other details (such as the date).
