Yes, that's the correct behavior. The shell prints the output but not
the input, as usual - the only difference is that in this case you type
the input into a `python-mode` buffer rather than an
`inferior-python-mode' buffer.

It seems like it should be possible to create a command that does what
you were expecting (take the text from the Python buffer, insert it into
the REPL buffer, and then `comint-send-input'), but AFAIK such a command
doesn't exist by default.
