In the tutorial for 2.7.9, in the section on quotes and the escape character, there is the following example text: 
>>> '"Isn\'t," she said.'
'"Isn\'t," she said.'
>>> print '"Isn\'t," she said.'
"Isn't," she said.
>>> s = 'First line.\nSecond line.'  # \n means newline
>>> s  # without print(), \n is included in the output
'First line.\nSecond line.'
>>> print s  # with print, \n produces a new line
First line.
Second line.

Note the print() in a comment. Isn't that Python 3 syntax? Should just be print for 2.7, I believe.

To clarify - this is in tutorial section 3.1.2.
