Did you actually include the ">>>" in your Python file?

Impossible to give a Solution, because you did not give all details.

If Python says that there is a syntax error, you can be pretty confident that your code is not correct.

The 3 line with "print" is certainly not the module you try to run.
The 3 lines are looking more like a console command.

To give you a real solution, you need to give us more details and the module source code.
For the module code, Copy/Paste the code, don't retype it, exact code matters with Python.

I recommend you to read and follow tutorials. A lot of matter is available on internet, just Google.

Solution 2

Go to https://docs.python.org/3.3/tutorial/index.html[^] and work through all the samples. It will become clear.
