How to pass the raw command line arguments to the python?
Such as:
mypython.py txt -c "Test Only" {Help}
The arguments I hope to get is:
txt -c "Test Only" {Help} -- Keep the
quotation marks in the arguments.
As Chris has said, the shell (and the C runtime) preprocesses the line
before python ever sees it. However, if you're on Windows, there is a
function GetCommandLine, located in Kernel32.dll, which I *think* keeps
the raw bytes typed by the user. Clearly, that would be a non-portable
answer, but here's some samples if you want to try it:
import sys
print sys.argv #this one loses the quotes
import ctypes
#print ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetModuleHandleA
#hdl = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetModuleHandleA(0)
#print hdl
func = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetCommandLineA
print func
func.restype = ctypes.c_char_p
cmd = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetCommandLineA()
print cmd #this one gives a single string, such as the one below:
"C:\ProgFiles\Python26\python.exe"
"M:\Programming\Python\sources\dummy\args.py" txt -c "Test Only" (Help)
If you do go this route, but still want to be portable, you could make
this code conditional on platform, then document the user to use
escaping on Linux and Apple, while you do this approach for Windows.
