Run python command directly on cmd in Windows

Question

I am looking for a way, to invoke simple python one-liners directly from Windows cmd without the need to store a .py file somewhere.

Something like

python print('Test').

Is this possible?

Just use -c command line switch:

python -c "print('Test')"

you could just type python3 on your cmd and you'll get a sort of python debugger in which you can type and test your code.

so let's just type, print('Test') and it will execute

I know that, but that's not actually the question I'm having.
