Re: [O] Python Code Block error with header option :results output

[Ahmadou Dicko]

I'm not a Python expert too but I don't that return statement can be used as is on the fly.
So, yes is the expected behavior of Python

Try instead

#+begin_src python :results output
  a = (1, 2, 3, 4)
  print(a)
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: (1, 2, 3, 4)

Hello-

I am not a user of Python (yet).  During a comparison of code block
behavior between Clojure and Python, I discovered a possible Python
error.

Here is the code block:

#+begin_src python :results output
 a = (1, 2, 3, 4)
 return a
#+end_src

The evaluation of this block results in this error:

  File "<stdin>", line 2
SyntaxError: 'return' outside function

Could someone please comment if this is expected Python behavior?

I am using org 8.2.4.

Regards,
Greg
