This is a limitation of the current implementation of :results value
evaluation. For now, while we work out a good solution, semi-colon
separated statements on the same line (as well as multiline
continuations) should be avoided when using :results value (the
default). It does work with :results output:

#+BEGIN_SRC python :results output
import os; print os.listdir(os.getcwd())
#+END_SRC

Thanks for pointing this problem out.
