command line input in python code example

Example 1: pass argument to a py file

import sys

def hello(a,b):
    print "hello and that's your sum:", a + b

if __name__ == "__main__":
    a = int(sys.argv[1])
    b = int(sys.argv[2])
    hello(a, b)
# If you type : py main.py 1 5
# It should give you "hello and that's your sum:6"

Example 2: python read arguments

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys

print('Number of arguments:', len(sys.argv), 'arguments.')
print('Argument List:', str(sys.argv))

Example 3: python argument command line

#!/usr/bin/python

print 'Argument List:', str(sys.argv)

Example 4: input code for python

# Python 2

txt = raw_input("Type something to test this out: ")
print "Is this what you just said?", txt

Example 5: how to get input in python3

# An input is requested and stored in a variable
test_text = input ("Enter a number: ")

# Converts the string into a integer. If you need
# to convert the user input into decimal format,
# the float() function is used instead of int()
test_number = int(test_text)

# Prints in the console the variable as requested
print ("The number you entered is: ", test_number)
