The PythonInterpreter.exec(s) takes an entire script, not individual
lines. The little example script can be embedded like this:

import org.python.core.*;
import org.python.util.*;

public class si2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PythonInterpreter interp = new PythonInterpreter();
        interp.exec("for i in (1,2,3):\n    print i");
    }
}

Note that the script contains newlines and indentation *exactly* as it
would, if it came from a file:

for i in (1,2,3):
    print i
