How to execute multiline python code from a bash script?
bash, multiline, python
Solution
Use a here-doc:
result=$(python <<EOF
import stuff
print('all $code in one very long line')
EOF
)
Problem
I need to extend a shell script (bash). As I am much more familiar with python I want to do this by writing some lines of python code which depends on variables from the shell script. Adding an extra python file is not an option. ``` result=`python -c "import stuff; print('all $code in one very long line')"` ``` is not very readable. I would prefer to specify my python code as a multiline string and then execute it.
