why in sublime

lady = ‘jen’
lady == ‘jen’

doesn’t produce True but Python does?

Python didn't work correctly on Sublime

The same thing applies. In a REPL (Read, Evaluate, Print, Loop), the P is printing the result of whatever the E evaluated for you. If you write a program that just says x=12, then Python does exactly that; it assigns the variable x the value of 12, and then the program finishes. If you want to see the result of what you’re doing, you need to call print() to print what you want to see to the console.

Output doesn't show even when clicking "Build with" MACOSX PYTHON

That only works in a REPL type environment (Read-Evaluate-Print Loop); running code interactively in the Python interpreter works this way, as does entering Python code into the console in Sublime. When you use a build system to run anything, Sublime runs the code externally and shows you what it outputs; in this mode you can’t interact with the program at all, just run it. So in that case if your code doesn’t explicitly provide some sort of result, it will appear as if it doesn’t do anything. …

thanks for the explanation!
