Python 3000 question

[holihue]

Why is things changed in python 3000 like:

print "hello"

and in python 3000:

print("hello")

Why will it be as a function?

I don't really care that much, I just think the best to just get used to it as soon as possible.

But my friend says it is useless, and I can't find any good arguments why it will be changed.

All I need is some arguments.
And why it will be changed.



Thanks

I cannot explain it, but maybe you can find out why HERE

The reason why I first started to like python, was that it was so simple and even printing looked as simple as possible , why they need to change printing like that?!?!

"The net result of the 3.0 generalizations is that Python 3.0 runs the pystone benchmark around 33% slower than Python 2.5"

is there any good things about 3.0, because I can't find them!
