Q:

how to get command line arguments in python

import sys
print("This is the name of the script:", sys.argv[0])
print("Number of arguments:", len(sys.argv))
print("The arguments are:" , str(sys.argv))

#Example output
#This is the name of the script: sysargv.py
#Number of arguments in: 3
#The arguments are: ['sysargv.py', 'arg1', 'arg2']

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"

import sys

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

#Terminal

#Number of arguments: 4 arguments.
#Argument List: ['test.py', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3']
