I'm playing around with optparse and created the code below. How do I move that to a function and what variable do I pass?
>From the documentation it seems like "options.optparse_test" would have the value zero if its option, either "-t" or "--test", is not detected at the command line. When I issue "print options.optparse_test" when no command options are used, "None" is sent to the screen (IIRC)... Is a proper check if a command line argument is not used to use the following: # being check if options.optparse_test <> 1: print "test parameter NOT detected" # end check Thanks. # begin program #!/usr/bin/python from optparse import OptionParser import string parser = OptionParser() parser.add_option("-t", "--test", action="count", dest="optparse_test", help="testing optparse") (options, args) = parser.parse_args() print options.optparse_test if options.optparse_test == 1: print "test parameter detected" if options.optparse_test <> 1: print "test parameter NOT detected" #parser.print_help() # end program -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
