A post about how this community's banner used the python 2 print syntax - print "Hello World" - made me question, can we print a hello world message in Python 3 without using parentheses?

It turned out to be sort of a fun challenge, I've found 3 different approaches that work. I'd be interested to see what you come up with! (it seems I can't put spoilers in Lemmy, so I won't share my solutions yet in case y'all want to have a go).

Edit: Posted my solutions in the comments

You could base64 encode the solution

But then you still need to use parentheses to decode it

Ah sorry I meant for the spoiler. He could base64 the solution given that he doesn't know how to do spoilers on lemmy

Ah true that would have worked, figured since spoilers don't work on most apps I might as well just post them.
