Make work find pipe awk command in Makefile - awk

Question

I have this find awk line to get python code analyse::
$ find ./ -name '*.py' -exec wc -l {} \; | sort -n| awk '{print $0}{s+=$0}END{print s}'
12 ./gb/__init__.py
23 ./gb/value_type.py
40 ./setup.py
120 ./gb/libcsv.py
200
$
I try to put it in a Makefile::
$ cat Makefile
python_count_lines: clean
#find ./ -name '*.py' -exec wc -l {} \; | sort -n| awk '{print \$0}{s+=\$0}END{print s}'
But this did not work::
$ make python_count_lines
awk: line 1: syntax error at or near }
Makefile:12: recipe for target 'python_count_lines' failed
make: *** [python_count_lines] Error 2
$

Bertrand Martel is correct that you need to escape dollar signs from make by doubling them, not prefixing them with backslashes (see info here).
However, the rest of that suggestion is not right and won't work; first, you should almost never use the shell function in a recipe. Second, using the info function here cannot work because in the first line you've set a shell variable RES equal to some value, then you try to print the make variable RES in the second line; not only that but each line is run in a separate shell, and also all make variable and function references are expanded up-front, before any part of the recipe is passed to the shell.
You just need to do this:
python_count_lines: clean
#find ./ -name '*.py' -exec wc -l {} \; | sort -n| awk '{print $$0}{s+=$$0}END{print s}'
