def function1(param1): return var1 def function2(param1): return var2 def function3(param1): return var3
I want to execute the script first_code.py from the windows command like and pass the value of the param1 such that: all the functions get executed or if I want to execute a specific function say function2.
How can I do that?
You could use something like this to have a more generalized way to call a function the takes 0-* params :
if __name__ == '__main__':
print (len(sys.argv))
params = []
if len(sys.argv) > 2:
for x in range(2, len(sys.argv)):
params.append(sys.argv[x])
if len(params) > 0:
globals()[sys.argv[1]](*params)
else:
globals()[sys.argv[1]]()
If your script 'getstuff.py' included a function named 'getSomething(forWho, fromWho)' it
can be called:
python getstuff.py getsomething "Ray" "Steve"
Can take as many parameters as you want.
Just include the snippet in you script.:>)
The arguments you specify in command line are kept in sys.argv you should add the following lines in the bottom of the code:
print function1(sys.argv[1])
print function2(sys.argv[1])
print function3(sys.argv[1])
please note sys.argv[0] is the script name.
If you want to specify the functions to be run add more arguments, they will be in sys.argv[2], sys.argv[3] etc'
