A valid opinion, in fact I think I defended that point of view myself,
and we used to wrap python code in a function so that we could easily
return the result of the block without an explicit return statement.
However people who use Python more than myself argued for the current
behavior and made a convincing point. Please look back through the
mailing list archives to see the discussion if you're not convinced.

People have been using Org-mode's code block support for years, often in
complex environments. However they tend to get along better if they
read the documentation.

Because it does not return any value, and you are asking for the value,
if you add ":results output" to the header of that code block you'll get
what you appear to expect. I acknowledge that there are a host of
header arguments and things to learn (value vs. output, language
specific quirks etc...) to enable sophisticated use of code blocks in
Org-mode. The best way to learn this stuff is through the
documentation, *not* through repeatedly sending non working examples to
the mailing list.
