Blockchain Python Syntax Error

Question

Following is my code:

import hashlib as hasher
import datetime as date

class Block:
  def __init__(self, index, timestamp, data, previous_hash):
    self.index = index
    self.timestamp = timestamp
    self.data = data
    self.previous_hash = previous_hash
    self.hash = self.hash_block()

  def hash_block(self):
    sha = hasher.sha256()
    sha.update(str(self.index) + 
               str(self.timestamp) + 
               str(self.data) + 
               str(self.previous_hash))
    return sha.hexdigest()

def create_genesis_block():
  return Block(0, date.datetime.now(), "Genesis Block", "0")

def next_block(last_block):
  this_index = last_block.index + 1
  this_timestamp = date.datetime.now()
  this_data = "Hey! I'm block " + str(this_index)
  this_hash = last_block.hash
  return Block(this_index, this_timestamp, this_data, this_hash)

blockchain = [create_genesis_block()]
previous_block = blockchain[0]

num_of_blocks_to_add = 20

for i in range(0, num_of_blocks_to_add):
  block_to_add = next_block(previous_block)
  blockchain.append(block_to_add)
  previous_block = block_to_add
  print 'Block #{} has been added to the blockchain!'.format(block_to_add.index)
  print "Hash: {}\n".format(block_to_add.hash)

I am getting an error in this line:

print 'Block #{} has been added to the blockchain!'.format(block_to_add.index)

Please help

Look here: 

print('Block #{} has been added to the blockchain!'.format(block_to_add.index))

Use print as a function for Python 2.7 or higher.

Or you can also change that code line to this:

print('Block #%s has been added .... blockchain' %(block_to_add.index))
