Welcome to the group. I think you made a typo. Your code should run.
I just tried this:
>>> print("hi", end=" ")
hi >>>
A couple of things that will make it easier to help:
1. send mail as plain text. Rich text causes some readers problems
2. copy and paste the code and complete traceback. retyping things
make it more likely that what is in your code isn't exactly what you
typed
