Why won't my Python script work?

This is my script:

http://s28.postimg.org/z2eax7p9p/Dtabase.png

Basically it is a very simple Database and the user can grab the data from the script by inputting a name. E.g John Smith.

When i try and run it i get this error:

print "Name: %s" % user1

^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Process finished with exit code 1

I probably made a very stupid mistake.

Thanks in advance!

    You may have written your program with the syntax for Python 2 but are trying to run it with Python 3 (or the other way round - I just know that the syntax for "print" is different between the two).
