well, the difference may not be seems a big change but, In Python 2, the print statement is used without parentheses, as in print 'hello world'. This syntax is easy to read and write, but it has some limitations. For example, it doesn’t allow for multiple arguments to be printed on the same line. there for python3 resolved this issue and many more similar issues.

Addtional Information

Python 2 was the first official release in year 2000 and it became aboulete in recent years 2020 and it is no longer used.

On other hand, Python 3 was released in year 2008 to solve the following problems in python two:

  • print statement:

    • python2: print function was used without paranthesis. i.e. print 'Hello World'.
