In Python, the command to print is simply "print". Like the example of "throw" above, "print" needs an argument, something to print (e.g., "ball"). In Python, this is offset by quotations:

print "ball"

The output from this statement would be simply (note: no print command and no quotation marks):

ball

By default, the output from print goes to the screen. There are ways to redirect the output, but we shall save that for a later tutorial.
