use command line flags 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 argument command line
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
print 'Number of arguments:', len(sys.argv), 'arguments.'
print 'Argument List:', str(sys.argv)
