Hi,
I just started with argparse. I want to simply check the extension of
the file that the user passes to the program. I get a ''file' object
has no attribute 'rfind'' error when I use
os.path.splitext(args.infile). Here is my code.
import argparse, sys, os
des = 'Get restraint definitions from probe.'
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description=des)
parser.add_argument('infile', nargs='?', type=argparse.FileType('r'))
# parser.add_argument('outfile', nargs='?', type=argparse.FileType('w'),
# default=sys.stdout)
args = parser.parse_args()
# print args.infile.readlines()
print basename, extension = os.path.splitext(args.infile)
There may be a better way to check extensions using argparse.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bradley
