how to run a program and get the output without an .exe file

Question

I need a python program to be called and take the output while another program is running. To do this i created an .exe file, but after 2 days I finally realised that, for some reason, the sklearn library doesn't work in .exe files. Is there any other way to run a script and get the output that doesn't include an .exe file?

Answer 1

In your command line, you call your python like this

python test.py arg1 arg2 arg3

In your python, you get the parameters from the command line by sys.argv

import sys

print 'Number of arguments:', len(sys.argv), 'arguments.'
print 'Argument List:', str(sys.argv)

You will get output

Number of arguments: 4 arguments.
Argument List: ['test.py', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3']

sys.argv is a list. You call them like sys.argv[1] , where 1 could be 0 , 1 , 2 or 3 in this case.
