    I really don't understand what you are asking here, or what you want to happen. What is your question, specified as succinctly as possible? Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 15:31
  • Let me try to make this simpler. I have a script wrapper.sh, which references stuff.py. I want to say "build" and the build tool inlines the python code in a call as described in my post. The end result should be a 'program.sh' with all code inlined. Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 15:35

    Why inline the code at all? That seems like a strange thing to do. It would likely be better to have clear separation between your Python code and your shell script. Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 15:36

    ...which seems the far preferable solution. Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 15:41

    If you are willing to build a convoluted system to do this, but are not willing to consider the (long solved, and far more sustainable) solution of shipping more than 1 file in your deployment, I think you're headed down the wrong path. Good luck though. :-) Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 15:45
