I hope this is not another embarrassingly obvious answer to a simple

Python 3, under Kubuntu.
xrange() fails whereas range() is accepted. Could this be an installation

My Python reference says that the xrange function was discontinued in
Python 3, which you are using.
"In Python 3.x, the original range() function is changed to return an
iterable instead of producing a result in memory, and thus subsumes
and [sic?] Python 2.x's xrange(), which is removed." -- Python Pocket
Reference, 5th ed., by Mark Lutz.
And the other half of the answer is that your IDLE is apparently using
the Python 2 interpreter, in which print is defined differently.
