arguments python script 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: read argument from terminal
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
print 'Number of arguments:', len(sys.argv), 'arguments.'
print 'Argument List:', str(sys.argv)
#Terminal
# $ python test.py arg1 arg2 arg3
#print
#Number of arguments: 4 arguments.
#Argument List: ['test.py', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3']
Example 3: python arguments
import sys
print ("the script has the name %s" % (sys.argv[0])
Example 4: program arguments python
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
for args in sys.argv:
print(args)
"""
If you were to call the program with subsequent arguments, the output
will be of the following
Call:
