SYNOPSIS

py [-x] [-l] [-c PRE_CMD] [-C POST_CMD] [-V] [-h] [expression]

DESCRIPTION

pythonpy will evaluate any Python expression from the command line.

This will be done by the same Python interpreter that runs it. As this version uses Python 3, it is compatible with Python 3 syntax only.

OPTIONS

-x

Treat each row of stdin as x

-l

Treat list of stdin as l

-c PRE_CMD

Run code before expression

-C POST_CMD

Run code after expression

-V, --version

Version info

-h, --help

Show help message and exit

EXAMPLES

Float arithmetic:

    $ py '3 * 1.5'

Import any module automatically:

    $ py 'math.exp(1)'

Multiply each line of input by 7:

    $ py 'range(3)' | py -x 'int(x)*7'

Remove every file returned by the find command:

    $ find . -type f | py -x '"rm %s" % x' | sh
