Pythonpy will automatically replace sharp quotes with single quotes before processing an expression:

py '`hello world`'
hello world
py '"ma`am"'
ma'am

Run a statement as you would using python -c with py -c:

py -c 'a = 5; print(`a`)'
5

Plot data you have access to from the command line using the pyplt alias:

alias pyplt='py -c '"'"'import matplotlib; matplotlib.use(`Agg`); import matplotlib.pyplot as plt'"'"' -C '"'"'plt.savefig("output.pdf")'"'"
py '[math.sin(x/10) for x in range(100)]' | pyplt -l 'plt.plot(l)'
