How can I write python code in a shell script such that it imports a module and runs a test on it?

Question

How can I run python code in a shell script that imports a python module and tests that specific module?

For example: from _some_path_ import File_We_Want_To_Test

if(File_We_Want_To_Test.Function_We_Want_To_Test(a, b) == True):
   print("great!")
else:
   print("bad!")

You can use Python in your shell like this:

python -c command

Where command is a small Python program (a quoted string).

Example:

python -c "import my_module; my_module.function()"
