Is it possible to run a function in Python using the command line

Question

I have recently started learning Python. I want to know whether it is possible to run a function using the command line. Please suggest how to do it.

Answer 1

Suppose your file name is demo.py and it contains the following code

def my_func():

     return "Hello, World!"

Now you can run it from command line using following line

$ python -c 'from demo import my_func; print my_func()'

And I said keyboardInterrupt can someone help I don’t know what to do

Hey, @Ella,

Could you please mention particularly which class you were focusing on? Is that any Youtube video or anything else?

Now, regarding your query, you can change:

birth_year = input(‘birth year: ‘) 

To

birth_year = input("birth year: ") 

I hope this will work.
