Put parentheses around the print function calls.

print('{} was {} years old when he wrote this book'.format(name, age))
print('Why is {} playing with that python?'.format(name))

In Python2, print is a statement, and does not require parenthesis.

In Python3, print is a function, so it requires parentheses around its arguments.
