[docs] SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[Ian Sweeney]

Hi,

I've just installed Python v3.1.2 onto Windows Vista.

I started IDLE and typed help() which suggested I look at
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/

Section 2.1.2. Interactive Mode suggested the following code:

the_world_is_flat = 1if the_world_is_flat:
  print "Be careful not to fall off!"


The line
print "Be careful not to fall off!"
generates SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The Python v3.1.2 documentation on Windows which was installed as a Windows
help file gives a slightly different Section 2.1.2. Interactive Mode
suggestion:

the_world_is_flat = 1if the_world_is_flat:
  print ("Be careful not to fall off!")


This code works. The online documentation needs to change to show working
code (or if appropriate indicate that the code is version specific).
