Looks like you are reading a v2 book/tutorial but using v3.

In v3 several key changes were made to Python including the renaming of 
raw_input() to input().

The other big change was making print a function so you now *must* put 
parentheses around anything you want to print.

ie

print 'hello'  # Python v2

becomes

print('hello')   # python v3

There are numerous other small changes so it would be better for you to 
either find a v3 tutorial (you could try mine! :-) or install Python 
v2.7 while you are learning.
