I wonder if the print function can be made work (without changing the syntax all over the place) like in Python 2 and earlier.
So I have the statement like:
print "Hello, World!" And I like that syntax to work in Python 3. I've tried importing the library six, but that didn't do the trick (still a syntax error).

However, if we have multiple objects inside the parantheses, we will create a tuple, since print is a “statement” in Python 2, not a function call.
Python 2.6 includes many capabilities that make it easier to write code that works on both 2.6 and 3. As a result, you can program in Python 2 but using certain Python 3 extensions... and the resulting code works on both.
In Python 2, print is a statement that does not need a parenthesis. In Python 3, print is a function and the values need to be written in parenthesis.
In Python 3, print is considered to be a function and not a statement. In Python 2, strings are stored as ASCII by default. In Python 3, strings are stored as UNICODE by default. On the division of two integers, we get an integral value in Python 2.
No, you cannot. The print statement is gone in Python 3; the compiler doesn't support it anymore.
You can make print() work like a function in Python 2; put this at the top of every module that uses print:
from __future__ import print_function This will remove support for the print statement in Python 2 just like it is gone in Python 3, and you can use the print() function that ships with Python 2.
six can only help bridge code written with both Python 2 and 3 in mind; that includes replacing print statements with print() functions first.
You probably want to read the Porting Python 2 Code to Python 3 howto; it'll tell you about more such from __future__ imports as well, as well as introduce tools such as Modernize and Futurize that can help automate fixing Python 2 code to work on both Python 2 and 3.
