Is the 'print (x),' [trailing comma] syntax valid for function syntax?

Print "x", in Py2 means suppress the trailing newline.

You need to actually run the scripts (old,  new PYTHON=python2, new PYTHON=python3) and compare the output.

This:
print "%-40s  %10s\n" % ("comm [pid]/syscalls", "count"),

can be reworked as:
print ("%-40s  %10s" % ("comm [pid]/syscalls", "count"))
