or rather the quirks of org-babel? ;)

IMO org-babel should be able to run source code as is.
If an org-mode specific modification is required at such a trivial form, what to expect wrt complex environments?

BTW this fails also:

#+begin_src python
print "Hello, world!"
#+end_src python

#+RESULTS:
: None


Can't see a consistent behavior so far.

Why not follow the path given, which avoids the artistics?
