[SOLVED] "SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print('looking for', f)?" when installing ssl

Issue

I get this error when running python3 -m pip install ssl. I am using python3.9. I don't know if I missed a dependency or something. Anyone know what it could mean? Thanks!
