The code behaves as I expect and want, but the de-denting of the
Python call is unattractive, especially unattractive the longer the
Python call becomes. I'd prefer something like:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
for i in 1 2 3 4; do
python -c "
for j in range($i):
print j
"
done
But that yields:
$ sh test.sh
File "<string>", line 2
for j in range(1):
^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
File "<string>", line 2
for j in range(2):
^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
File "<string>", line 2
for j in range(3):
^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
File "<string>", line 2
for j in range(4):
^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
I realize I can create a "call_me.py" and do:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
for i in 1 2 3 4; do
python call_me.py $i
done
but for various reasons I want a single script. Any alternatives?
