Which makes his claim that "all the console outputs have been removed so

off as a weird Python side-effect?

Wait... I've just remembered, and a quick test confirms... Python only
prints bare objects if you are running in a interactive shell. Otherwise
output of bare objects is suppressed unless you explicitly call print.

Okay, I guess he is forgiven. False alarm, my bad.
