Hello all,

I often use python as a calculator or for simple operations using -c. It would be enormously useful if python -c "..." would output on stdout the result of the last evaluated expression in the same way that the interactive interpreter does.

The following outputs nothing:

python -c "12 / 4.1"

So you always have to prefix expressions with print to see the result.
