The use-case is acually fairly simple. The point is to use a python
source-file as subsitute for scrap-paper (with the opportunity to
edit what is already written and without illegible handwriting).
The output should  1) show manually selected python code and comments
(whatever I think is important), 2) show selected results (final and
intermediate) and 3) *not* show python code that for someone only
interested in the calculation and the results (and probably not
knowing python) would just be "noise" (e. g. "import"-statements,
actual "print()"-functions, etc.).

As far as I understand this code, all of this would be printed as well,
which is exactly what I do not want.
