When you run code from an edit window, IDLE saves the file to disk and then
*imports* it into the shell window. If you *paste* code into the shell
window (regardless of where from), then it acts like you typed it and you
will get expression results echoed, as you expected.
I got caught be this at first too, since I have run many snippets by
pasting.
