How can I make this one-liner work in DOS?

Question

python -c "for x in range(1,10) print x"

I enjoy python one liners with -c, but it is limited when indentation is needed.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

python -c "for x in range(1,10): print x"

Just add the colon.

To address the question in the comments:

How can I make this work though? python -c "import calendar;print calendar.prcal(2009);for x in range(1,10): print x"

python -c "for x in range(1,10): x==1 and __import__('calendar').prcal(2009); print x;"

As you can see it's pretty gross. We can't import before the loop. To get around this we check if x is at the first iteration in the loop, if so we do the import.

Answer 2

Not a python script, but might help:

for /L %i in (1, 1, 10) do echo %i

Answer 3

Don't you just want this?

python -c “for x in range(1,10): print x”

Answer 4

python -c "for x in range(1,10): print x"

Remember the ":" !!

Answer 5

Here's a solution that doesn't require putting a statement after the colon, which is not considered very highly.

python2 -c "print '\n'.join([str(x) for x in range(1,10)])"

What's more pythonic than a list comprehension!

Answer 6

python -c 'print "\n".join(map(str, range(1,10)))'

but what's wrong in a "real" python script? (you know, a foo.py launched via "python foo.py") If you really like one-liners, I suggest perl :)
