Python on the command line
More or less the only thing I do on the command line with python is to check the version number:
python -V python --version
You can run some Python code without creating a file, but I don't remember ever needing this. If you insist
python -c "print 42"
python3 -c "print(42)"
Type the following to get the details:
man python
