Hello!

I found this problem:

$ python3 -c 'import sys; for line in sys.stdout: pass'
  File "<string>", line 1
    import sys; for line in sys.stdout: pass
                  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Without import-statement this work great. Also code 'import sys; pass' 
works too.

The error message is correct: your example is invalid python code.  Try
it in a file and you will get the same error message.  Check the
documentation of the '-c' option to learn how to correctly code your
example.
