How to Call a function from python terminal?

Question

In this example how to call "function func_call_from_terminal" from python terminal when the code running?

example: The name of the python script is "TEST.py"

def func_call_from_terminal():
     # in this function I need to print I_Value ... 
     # where this function must call from terminal during...
     # the running script TEST.py.

if __name__ == "__main__":
   I_Value = 1
   Flag = True
   while Flag :
       I_Value += 1
       if I_Value == 1e9
           Flag  = False

What do you mean by the "python terminal"? If you're running a script, you need to put the function call in the script. Do you mean you want to interrupt the script while it's running? — Barmar

My bad, I mean from terminal, no I won't interrupt the script I just need to call the function from terminal for example : >python func_call_from_terminal.py — F.Rahmouni

You could make the script check sys.argv and call the function depending on the arguments. — Barmar

Just open terminal and use this command

python -c 'import TEST; TEST.func_call_from_terminal()'
