argparse works fine on 3.x https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/argparse.html
You can't really have back to back _positional_ arguments with nargs = "+" as it won't be able to tell where you meant one group to end and the next to begin. You'd have to call it with switches like script.py -if inFile1 inFile2 inFile3 -of outFile -swf stopwordsFile1 stopwordsFile2 -----Original Message----- From: Python-list [mailto:python-list-bounces+david.raymond=tomtom....@python.org] On Behalf Of F Massion Sent: Monday, December 17, 2018 1:38 PM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Variable number of arguments My script is used by a web interface which gets some parameters from a form. The parameters are passed on as arguments like this: (...) def start(self, _Inputfile ,_Outputfile ,_Stopwordsfile) As long as the number of arguments is set (i.e. 3), there are no problems running the script. Currently I have e.g. ARGV[0] = _Inputfile ARGV[1] = _Outputfile ARGV[2] = _Stopwordsfile Now I want to allow a variable number of arguments, i.e. 1..n input files or stopwords lists. In this case ARGV[0] would become [filename1.txt, filename2.txt,...], but I wonder how ARGV[1] would still remain _Outputfile. I thought of using the argparse module with nargs='+' for a variable number arguments but it seems to work only with Python 2.7 and I have 3.6 running. Any suggestions? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
