In Python can\'t figure out how to fix the errors in this code to make it run id

Question

In Python can't figure out how to fix the errors in this code to make it run idle. I'm stuck on line 4 it says it needs parenthesis but i've included them and I'm not sure what else may be wrong.

import random
#Generate a random integer between 10 and 100 to denote the initial size of the pile.
numOfMarbles = random.randint(10, 100)
print 'The size of the pile is: ',numOfMarbles
#Generate a random integer between 0 and 1 to decide wheter the computer or the human takes the first turn.
turn = random.randint(0, 1)
if turn == 0:
print 'Its the turn of a computer...'
else:
print 'Its your turn...'
#Generate a random integer between 0 and 1 to decide whether the computer plays smart or stupid.
stupidComputer = random.randint(0, 1)
if stupidComputer == 0:
print 'Remember. You are playing with a smart computer. Be alert...'
else:
print 'This computer is so stupid. Nothing to worry much...'
#In stupid mode the computer simply takes a random legal value (between 1 and n/2)
#from the pile whenever it has a turn.
while numOfMarbles != 1: #Till you're left with only one marble.
if turn == 0: #Computer turn
if stupidComputer == 1: #If the computer is playing in stupid mode.
temp = random.randint(1, numOfMarbles/2) #Select a random number between 1, and n/2.
else: # Select the marbles smartly.
if numOfMarbles - 3 > 0 and numOfMarbles - 3 < numOfMarbles/2:
temp = numOfMarbles - 3
elif numOfMarbles - 7 > 0 and numOfMarbles - 7 < numOfMarbles/2:
temp = numOfMarbles - 7
elif numOfMarbles - 15 > 0 and numOfMarbles - 15 < numOfMarbles/2:
temp = numOfMarbles - 15
elif numOfMarbles - 31 > 0 and numOfMarbles - 31 < numOfMarbles / 2:
temp = numOfMarbles - 31
else:
temp = numOfMarbles - 63
print 'The computer picked: %d marbles.' % temp #Print the marbles picked by computer.
numOfMarbles -= temp #Subtract the marbles picked by computer.
else:
marblesToPick = input('Its your turn. Pick the marbles in the range 1 - %d: ' % int(numOfMarbles/2)) #Read the marbles to be picked.
while marblesToPick < 1 or marblesToPick > numOfMarbles/2: #If read invalid value, try repeatedly.
marblesToPick = input('You picked the wrong count. Pick the marbles in the range 1 - %d: ' % int(numOfMarbles/2))
numOfMarbles -= marblesToPick #Subtract the marbles picked by you.
turn = (turn + 1) % 2 #Change the turn.
print 'Now the pile is of size %d.' % numOfMarbles
if turn == 0: #Declare the result.
print 'Yay. You made it. You won. Congrats...'
else:
print 'As always... The computer won. And you LOST...'

Explanation / Answer

print requires a parenthesis in PYTHON 3.0 onwards

CORRECT SYNTAX IS
print('The size of the pile is: ',numOfMarbles)

The Above Line will Work, Convert all print statement like Above and it will work.
