Re: [Python-ideas] python -c "..." should output result like the interpreter

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.

If it did, you couldn't do this anymore (with the obvious implementation):

python -c 'print 1 print 2'

which I guess a few people do rely upon.

A new -e option would be fine, but -- YAGNI?
