python -c commands on windows.

T

Terry Reedy

Manual says "-c <command>
Execute the Python code in command. command can be one or more
statements separated by newlines, with significant leading whitespace as
in normal module code."

In Windows Command Prompt I get:
C:\Programs\Python33>python -c "a=1\nprint(a)"
File "<string>", line 1
a=1\nprint(a)
^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character
(Same if I remove quotes.)

How do I get this to work?
