2.4 VS 3.1 for simple print

[earthlink]

Why does

print "GarbageCollector: collected %d objects." % (gc.collect())

work in 2.4 but not in 3.1?

[Chris Rebert]

Define "works". What error are you getting? Include the exact message
and full error traceback.
Or if no exception is being raised, explain exactly how is it behaving
differently from your expectations.

Cheers,
Chris

Because print is a function in 3.1, so you have to follow it with
a parenthesis.

People never thank you for an "RTFM" response.

It's a good thing I avoid giving such responses, then. (Pointing someone
to the specific document isn't “RTFM”.)
