Hi, Could some one take a look at the below code snipet which keep failing:
import optparse p = optparse.OptionParser(description="script to do stuff", prog="myscript.py", ....) p.add_option("-c" "--compress", help="0 is noncompress") function1(options.compress) here's what the what function definition looks like: function1(zipfile) : if (zipfile == 1): do stuff here with for compress file else do stuff here when I call the script "myscript.py 1", the above test keeps falling to the else clause. I am thinking the object zipfile is not the same as "1". Any thoughts as how I should test if the argument being pass in and parse by optparse is 1 or "0"?
