This code works when I try it from a .py file, but fails in the command line interpreter and Idle.

>>> try:
...     fsock = open("/bla")
... except IOError:
...     print "Caught"
... print "continue"
  File "<stdin>", line 5
    print "continue"
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm using python 2.6
