How to execute Python inline from a bash shell

Is there a Python argument to execute code from the shell without starting up an interactive interpreter or reading from a file? Something similar to: perl -e 'print "Hi"'
This works: python -c 'print("Hi")' Hi From the manual, man python: -c command Specify the command to execute (see next section). This termi- nates the option list (following options are passed as arguments to the command).
