I have working knowledge of Python3, but I'm trying to adapt to a work environment that uses 2.7.2. Trying basic things, I can't get either input or print actions to work.
In 3.6.8 this works like so:
>> foo=("seven")
>> print("She lives with", foo, "small men")
She lives with seven small men
In my unix environment with 2.7.2, any variation using parentheses gives me a syntax error "(' is not expected". I can print without (), but I can't seem to find a way that works to assign and/or print the variable foo.
>> foo="seven"
>> print "She lives with", foo, "small men"
She lives with, foo, small men
Enclosing foo in the print statement with () [] or ++ all simply print whatever is typed into the code after "print".
Any help is appreciated.

Are you sure the inner double quotes are really double quotes? Not smart quotes, single quotes, or escaped in some way? The comma after foo in your output suggests that "foo," is part of a string literal.

I guess I'll lean toward the broken interpreter. Also having trouble with "import", etc. This is a big corporate server environment and I'm a long way away from the admin who loaded python in the first place, although I put in a request to have python3 installed. Hopefully that will help matters. Thanks.

This turned out to be an even simpler newbie problem and fix. In the unix environment, the script needs to be preceeded with "python" at the command line. I was lulled into complacency by working in Windows previously, where the command line only required the name of the script. (Windows applies some voodoo to know to run it as python, where in unix, that'snot the case.)
Saving the same code as "foo.py" and run command with "python" yields the correct result:
=> python foo.py
