Python error when writing a class?

I am working on the following problem:

Write a shopping cart class to implement a shopping cart that you often find on websites where you could purchase some goods. Think about what things you could store in a cart and also what operations you could perform on the cart. To simplify matters, you could consider the website to be an electronics e-store that has goods like flat-panel TVs, radios, iPods, camcorders, and so on.

This is my code so far:

class ShoppingCart(object):
    def __init__(self, name = "", address = ""):
        self.items = []
        self.total = 0
        self.shopper = name
        self.address = address

    def get_address(self):
        return self.address
    def get_address(self,address):
        self.address = address

    def add_item(self, T):
        "Add tuple(name, quantity, price, ID)"
    self.items.append(T)
    self.total = sum(t[2] for t in self.items)

    def delete_item(self, T):
        "Delete tuple(name, quantity, price, ID)"
        if T in self.items:
            self.items.remove(T)
            self.total = sum([t[2]] for t in self.items)

    def print_cart(self):
        print("\n cart:")
        print("\t", "Item", \t\, "price", "quantity")

    for T in self.items:
        print("\t", T[0],"\t", T[2], "\t", T[1])
        print("\n Total:", self.total)


    def test_cart():
        "Demonstrate use of class"
        s = ShoppingCart('Rich')
        s.add_item(("iPod Nano", 1, 150.00, '12345'))
        s.add_item(("The Holiday (DVD)", 2, 18.00, '14443'))
        s.set_address('123 Timber, St. Louis, MO, 63130')
        s.print_cart()

test_cart()

I get an error saying:

File "<ipython-input-5-b4071917f558>", line 27
    print("\t", "Item", \t\, "price", "quantity")
                                                 ^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

Does anyone know why this error is occurring? Thank you in advance!

Try to add colon:

print("\t", "Item", "\t", "price", "quantity")

And you could use a simple way:

print("\t Item \t price quantity")

The answer lies in the error message given. You cannot print out \t\. I think you meant "\t".
