In bash you can also use Ctrl-v followed by special character. (I used to reset terminal by echo "<Ctrl-v><Esc>c"<Enter>) Ctrl-v, Enter -> generate 0x0d to command-line Crtl-v, Ctrl-m -> the same as above Ctrl-v, Ctrl-j -> generate 0x0a (UNIX \n) So type: python -c 'import sys; then press Ctrl-v followed by Ctrl-j and type the rest.. In vi it looks like [EMAIL PROTECTED] At CLI it realy does a newline. I guess, you can no longer call it an one-liner ;-) I'm not sure whether Ctrl-v is a bash feature. More probably the tty driver. So, it may be worth tring it on bash-less UNIXes (that deserve to extinct) BranoZ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
