What you have run into is called 'implicit line joining' in python. Have a look at the docs, https://docs.python.org/2.0/ref/implicit-joining.html

As indicated by @MisterMiyagi it is expecting you to just complete the statement and not write it all over again, something like this:

>>> age = 1341
>>> print(age
... )
1341
