Simple print to stderr

By default the print statement sends to stdout
I want to send to stderr

Try

print "my meeage", file=sys.stderr

I got
> SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I try

print "my message", sys.stderr

But it still sent to stdout.
What is the syntax?

I wouldn't understand Python's manual




> print([object, ...][, sep=' '][, end='n'][, file=sys.stdout])¶
> 
>     Print object(s) to the stream file, separated by sep and followed by end. sep, end and file, if present, must be given as keyword arguments.
> 
>     All non-keyword arguments are converted to strings like str() does and written to the stream, separated by sep and followed by end. Both sep and end must be strings; they can also be None, which means to use the default values. If no object is given, print() will just write end.
> 
>     The file argument must be an object with a write(string) method; if it is not present or None, sys.stdout will be used.
