python -c "`cat <<OOK
from sys import stdin
for line in stdin:
  print line.upper(),
  print 'ha ha', "ho ho"
OOK
`"

ie the value of -c can be a complete program as long as you keep the newlines
intact and don't mess up the quotes.  However it would probably be a lot
simpler to copy the script to a temp file and execute that (ignoring
pathological security issues).

(Only tested with bash!)
