This does not return anything for me either, but
#+BEGIN_SRC python
import os
os.listdir(os.getcwd())
#+END_SRC
works as expected. This is strange, since "import os; os.listdir(os.getcwd())"
is valid and will work if typed in the python interpreter directly.

I don't think this is suppose to work. As I understand org-babel send this code
to python without any processing but you are not inside a python
function. Therefore this is as if you have typed 'return "hello"' in the
interpreter and it will result in an error. That's why no output is shown.
Change "#+BEGIN_SRC python" to "#+BEGIN_SRC python :results output" and you will
see the error.

However, if the code is sent to the python interpreter as it is, then it bugs me
why "import os; os.listdir(os.getcwd())" didn't work.
