I'd like to simply execute a Python command without having to write a script or enter the interpreter. Is there a way that I could run something like:

python --execute "pow(12.31351,2)"

And have it simply print the result?

you can use -c arguments,like python -c "print 123",see python --help

usage: python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
     -c cmd : program passed in as string (terminates option list)

  • Right, just needs a print statement to dump to stdout, gotcha. Commented Sep 21, 2011 at 22:52
