passing argument to python exexutable

[askalottaqs]

Hello ppl,

I have created a small code that i need it as an exe so i could distribute it over to other users, i used the py2exe, worked fine and gave me the exe, this is when i have all the code lying there (no defined functions)

So when i try to define it as a function, so that i could pass arguments to, it would run with no errors, but does nothing!

in other words, how do i pass arguments to this exe properly?

Thanks a lot

Since the format for a script is "python test.py function arg1 arg2 .. .argx"(without quotes) an exe would probably be somthing like "test[.exe] function arg1 arg2 .. .argx"(also without quotes)

i just tried to run the python code, through python through the command line:

python c:\mycommand.exe function arg1

and it does absolutely nothing,

within the code, i have one function defined as "function" and it takes one parameter called arg1


before so, i had it without the function, just code lying there, and it was working perfectly, so could someone plz tell me what am i missin???

i guess what i want to say is, how do i pass parameters properly to a python code,

thanks a lot in advance

to be more precise, i have read the documentation, done my homework right, but it talks about inner functions and how to call them internally, but to call the finction with arguments from the command line, or even through python from outside the editor, i could not find anything,

I have never compiled a Python script, so I don't know if this will work, but have you tried accessing the argument(s) from the sys.argv variable list?

I am having the exact same problem currently. Please let me know if you've found a solution.

Django seems to accomplish this although it may do it this way.

import sys
 
def sayHello(name):
    print "Hello, %s!"%name
 
def main():
    if len(sys.argv) >= 2:
        if sys.argv[1] == "sayHello" and len(sys.argv) == 3:
            sayHello(sys.argv[2])
 
main()
 
# output in command prompt
python test.py sayHello elcron
Hello, elcron!
