| Remove the "(1)"

The '(1)' was almost certainly an 'equation number' or 'line label' added 
so the author could refer it in the text, like 'type line (1) into the 
interpreter and... .  This is a standard mathematical idiom, but sometimes 
confusing when there is not enough space between the equation and the 
label, and especially when the equation label *could* be part of the 
equation, as with Python.
