When I try starting MRC I get the following:
---
Attempting to start the Multi Relay Chat (MRC) python script..

File "/mystic/./mrc_client.py", line 89
print "Usage : mrc_client.py hostname port"


SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'.
Did you mean print(...)?
Error: mrc_client.py failed to start.
Exiting.

I've gone through the code line by line and can NOT find what's causing this error, and line 89 has nothing to do with a print command.
Line 89 of that file reads: r4=random.randint(1,99)

so, any help getting this thing working would be great. I'm running on Linux Mint btw.
