I hope this is the place to post this question.
Yes.
Lesson 1. Report Python version used, as things change. For anything
that seems like it might by os/system specific, include that too.
Lesson 2. Always include tracebacks when there is one.
I am a really new
pythonista. I am studying Tkinter and when I run this basic code, I
get a syntax error on line 20, print "hi there, everyone". Its a
simple print line, but I can't see the problem. I am using Python
2.71, gVim for an editor, and a console window to execute the program.
Here is the link to the website that I am trying to follow:

Thanks for any help.

Hi,
the code on the mentioned page as well as yours (with adapted
indentation and wordwrapping from the mail) seems ok for python 2.
Is it possible, that you are actually using python3?
This would give something like
print "hi there, everyone!"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
as print was changed to a funcion in this version.
print("hi there, everyone!")
If running with Py3, 'import Tkinter' will fail; change to 'import tkinter'.
