[issue40568] Modify -c command-line option to accept multiple inputs

[Serhiy Storchaka]

It would be breaking change.

In addition to multiline strings you can use \n with $' on Posix:

python -c $'with open("somefile.txt") as f:\n  s = f.read()\n  print(len(s))'

Maybe there is similar feature on Windows, but in any case the command line interface on Windows is far from user friendly.
