Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
The paragraph reads: Under Unix, a complete program can be passed to the interpreter in three forms: with the -c string command line option, as a file passed as the first command line argument, or as standard input. If the file or standard input is a tty device, the interpreter enters interactive mode; otherwise, it executes the file as a complete program. This is slightly confusing because a complete programs cannot be passed all at once if the file (regular or stdin) is interactive. Not being a Windows expert, I was curious whether the standard input part is true for Win 10. Indeed, both "python con:" and "python <con:" (as well as just "python") start Python in interactive mode, which both "python file" and "python < file" executes the file. Ned, is the statement untrue for MacOS, or does 'Unix' always include Macs? In other words, should we add 'Windows' or delete 'Unix'? ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33877> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
