Re: Module to read input from commandline

[python]

James,

Check out the optparse module as well. The optparse module supercedes(?)
the cmd module and offers a lot more functionality.

Hi Malcom,

Doesn't the optparse module work by parsing the arguments that are
passed to the script when it is invoked?

What I was looking for was a commandline read loop that executes
within a script that is already running ... or can optparse be used in
this context as well?

Thanks,
James.

Apologies. I missed the nuance of the read loop within an already
running script.
