Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print "Hello World"
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print "Hello World"
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

It's Python 2. Not sure why anyone's writing Python 2 in 2023, but it's valid code.

Some people have legacy codebases and haven't been able to justify the workload to migrate it 😭😭😭

So common in consulting. Many customers only want new things and feel like they shouldn't have to keep paying once an initial product has been delivered. But needs change, tech moves on and things need refreshing or replacing. The hardest situation is when the client has no in-house expertise so can only assume you're trying to fleece them for more money.
