When you type a Python expression at the interactive prompt in IDLE or 
the python command-line interpreter, it will take the extra step of 
printing the value of that expression for you.

That's not otherwise how Python works.  Normally you have to use a print 
command (or print() function in Python 3.x) to actually see the output.
