Hello,
I have the following commands: testb -s <size> testb -s <size> -o <input file> testb -s <size> -o <codes>
How do i split the commands so that all three are valid. And how do i
check for missing arguments?
Use optparse. It's an improvement over the old getopt that makes writing option parsers easy:
py> import optparse py> option_parser = optparse.OptionParser( ... usage='%prog -s <size> [-o <input file|codes>]') py> option_parser.add_option('-s', metavar='<size>', type='int') <Option at 0x12b1ee0: -s> py> option_parser.add_option('-o', metavar='<input file|codes>') <Option at 0x12b1fd0: -o> py> options, args = option_parser.parse_args('-s 1 -o data.txt'.split()) py> options.s, options.o (1, 'data.txt') py> option_parser.print_help() usage: evaluation.py -s <size> [-o <input file|codes>]
options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -s <size> -o <input file|codes>
