Hello,

I have a situation where I have 2 lists

List1 = ['blue', 'red', green']
List2 = ['red', 'yellow', 'orange']

And I would like to pass the list name on the command line like so

./test.py List1

I know I can get the argument using sys.argv[1]

But how can I then use the values in that list inside my program?

If I do a VALUES = sys.argv[1], then I get List1 as the values.  I want the
actual list elements.

Is this possible?

Thank you

Jason
