Python: Reading arguments passed into script

When writing Python scripts, sometimes you will need to read in the arguments given.

view sourceprint?

1.import sys

2.print sys.argv

Using pop() to retrieve the information, we pull out the stuff we need.

For example the script was called using:

view sourceprint?

1.python script.py admin@example.com mypass

Then the arguments can be retrieved using:

view sourceprint?

1.args = sys.argv

2. 

3.args.pop(0) # filename for current script

4.email = args.pop(0) # username/email

5.password = args.pop(0) # password
