Invalid Syntax in for loop

Hey team,

Why do I get a syntax error here? If I run it on Jupyter notebook it's printing out fine!

loop.py 
hellos = [
    "Hello",
    "Tungjatjeta",
    "Grüßgott",
    "Вiтаю",
    "dobrý den",
    "hyvää päivää",
    "你好",
    "早上好"
]

for word in hellos:
    print "{} World".format(word)

I think you only need to wrap the print with parens and you will be all set!

print("{} World".format(word))

Can you paste your entire code again? I cut and pasted your original, added the parens, and it worked beautifully...
