Alright, you have two problems, none of them related to IDLE. First off,
the syntax for print in python 3 is print(string). Second, you were
trying to run shell commands from IDLE's python interpreter, which
doesn't work. You may be interested in the tutor list (tutor at python.org)
for basic questions.
