This is one area where Windows seems to do better than Linux shells: PS C:\python33> python -c "import os`nfor root, dirs, files in os.walk('.'):`n if len(dirs + files) == 1: print(root)`n" .\Doc .\Lib\concurrent\__pycache__ .\Lib\curses\__pycache__ ... The `n shell escaped newline is interpreted well before Python runs. Also the multiline version works and in Powershell ISE up-arrow pulls it back as a single unit for easy editing: PS C:\python33> python -c @" import os for root, dirs, files in os.walk('.'): if len(dirs + files) == 1: print(root) "@ .\Doc .\Lib\concurrent\__pycache__ .\Lib\curses\__pycache__ ... and so on ... -- Duncan Booth -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
