I have a file buyfruits.py this parses the arguments and sends them to a file called buying.py for eg this command: $python buyfruits.py --quantity 20 --amount 50 --fruit apple
will result in buy 20 apples for 50 coins
I want this to take arguments from another file
let's say input.py
amt = input("Enter amount ")
q = input("Enter quantity you want")
what = input("Enter fruit you want to buy ")
i want this input.py file to execute this code
$python buyfruits.py --quantity q --amount amt --fruit what
Use os.system:
import os
amt = input("Enter amount ")
q = input("Enter quantity you want")
what = input("Enter fruit you want to buy ")
os.system("buyfruits.py --quantity %s --amount %s --fruit %s" % (q, amt, what))
or subprocess, if you want to capture the output of buyfruits.py:
import subprocess, shlex # shlex needed for command-line splitting
amt = input("Enter amount ")
q = input("Enter quantity you want")
what = input("Enter fruit you want to buy ")
p = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split("buyfruits.py --quantity %s --amount %s --fruit %s" % (q, amt, what)))
print("output : %s\nerrors : %s" % p.communicate()) # print output and errors of the process
Read about python subprocess module.
#I assume you are using Python3.x
import subprocess
amt = input("Enter amount ")
q = input("Enter quantity you want")
what = input("Enter fruit you want to buy ")
output=subprocess.check_output(['buyfruits.py', '--quantity', q, '--amount', amt, '--fruit', what], shell=True)
print(output)
you can use call,check_call as well.
you can use getopt and sys libraries
import getopt, sys
def get_arguments():
fruit = None
quantity = None
amount = None
argv = sys.argv[1:]
opts, argv = getopt.getopt(argv, "a:q:f:")
for opt, argv in opts:
if opt in ['-a']:
amount = argv
elif opt in ['-q']:
quantity = argv
elif opt in ['-f']:
fruit = argv
print('amount : {}'.format(amount))
print('quantity : {}'.format(quantity))
print('fruit : {}'.format(fruit))
get_arguments()
input:
$python file_1.py -a 20 -q 5 -f apple
output:
amount: 20
quantity: 5
fruit: apple
