Doesn't work atall on my box.

I guess the command you really meant was

$ python -c 'print ":)"'
:)
$ 

Seriously, is the existence of "print" just another example of
"there's ALWAYS several useless alternative ways of doing things in
Perl"?

Interestingly enough, I can't find a way to duplicate the Perl output
using Python.[1]

$ python -c 'print ":)",'
:)
$
