so, i code this: ----------------------------- #!/usr/bin/python import sys import os
for param in os.environ.keys(): print "%20s %s" % (param,os.environ[param]) print(os.environ['PATH']) print(sys.argv[1:]) -------------------------- and then when i type in --> python test.py "testparameter" I get this output: ------------- ['testparameter'] ---------------- Is there a way to neatly, in one call to the parameter, to get rid of the [' and '] without bothering to replace() '[ with "" and replace() '] with ''?
