Are you sure you've given us the exact code? The printed text doesn't
exactly match. ("favorite" vs. "favourite", three double-quotes vs
three single-quotes, etc.)
The error message also says that the print statement has a
close-parenthesis after the string and before the arguments, which may be
real problem.
