There are multiple ways in which you can use multiline statements in the command line in python. For example, bash supports multiline statements, which you can use like −
Example
$ python -c ' > a = True > if a: > print("a is true") > '
Output
This will give the output −
a is true
If you prefer to have the python statement in a single line, you can use the \n newline between the commands.
example
$ python -c $'a = True\nif a: print("a is true");'
Output
This will give the output −
a is true
