Basic python syntax error - won't print

Question

So I've installed python 3.3.4 on my machine and i'm trying to run the most basic code

import sys

file = "Wikipedia.org"
print str(file)

but I keep getting an InvalidSyntax Error.

I was wondering if there is something wrong with the install or path of python that i am running?

In python 3 you should use print()

file = "Wikipedia.org"
print(file)

And you don't need to use str() - variable file already contains string value
