The command python -i ${filename-py} is used to run a Python script interactively in the Python interpreter.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

• python: This is the command used to invoke the Python interpreter.
• -i: This option tells the Python interpreter to run in interactive mode after executing the given script. When Python runs in interactive mode, it allows you to interactively enter and execute Python commands after the script has finished running.
• ${filename-py}: This is a placeholder for the name of the Python script file you want to execute. You need to replace ${filename-py} with the actual name of your Python script file (e.g., script.py).

When you run this command, the Python interpreter will execute the specified Python script, and once it finishes running, it will switch to interactive mode. This enables you to experiment and interact with the Python interpreter, providing you with the opportunity to further execute additional Python code or inspect variables defined in the script.
