Using find before wc eliminates total
I'm using find to search through all subdirectories and current directory
to find all .py files, and then run wc -l to find number of lines.
However, when I use find with wc, the Total field is left off, unlike when
I run wc by itself. Does anyone know why this is happening?
find . -name \*.py -exec wc -l {} \;
187 ./check.py
43 ./file.py
33 ./mitch.py
...
1014 ./serve.py
41 ./test_scripts/line_graph.py
39 ./welcome.py
But no total, but when I run wc -l *.py in a directory I get a total:
wc -l *.py
187 check.py
43 file.py
94 log_com.py
154 log_results.py
33 mitch.py
1014 serve.py
39 welcome.py
1564 total
