OK, I see. Interestingly default retuirn values are not printed: >>> def f(n): return ... >>> for n in range(5): ... f(n) ... >>> But if they return printable values then yes you would see them. In that case I'd just assign to a dummy variable. But usually in the >>>> prompt I don't care, if there were so many lines inside a loop I'd probably create a test file for the code because its easier to edit changes.
