Why? Is the Enter key on your keyboard broken?
Maybe it's for a python -c invocation.
[steve@ando ~]$ python -c "for i in range(5):
print 'hello world'
"
hello world
hello world
hello world
hello world
hello world
[steve@ando ~]$
Well, not everyone's shells are as awesome as bash...
Like Windows command prompt is not. I tried:
C:\Users\Terry>python -c "for i in range(5):\n\tprint('hello world')"
File "<string>", line 1
for i in range(5):\n print('hello world')
^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character
-c does not preprocess the code string before executing. I may propose
that it do so. However, Python is still pretty awesome.
C:\Users\Terry>python -c "exec('''for i in range(5):\n print('hello
world')''')"
hello world
hello world
hello world
hello world
hello world
and not everyone knows you can do that.
One can even combine -i (interactive) with -c (code).
C:\Users\Terry> python -i -c "exec('''a=[]\nfor i in
(1,2,3):\n\ta.append(i)''')"
>>> a
[1, 2, 3]
>>>
