Is this the right way of handling command line arguments?
- by shadyabhi
ask_username = True
ask_password = True
ask_message = True
ask_number = True
def Usage():
print '\t-h, --help: View help'
print '\t-u, --username: Username'
print '\t-p, --password: Password'
print '\t-n, --number: numbber to send the sms'
print '\t-m, --message: Message to send'
sys.exit(1)
opts, args = getopt(sys.argv[1:], 'u:p:m:n:h',["username=","password=","message=","number=","help"])
print opts, args
for o,v in opts:
if o in ("-h", "--help"):
Usage()
elif o in ("-u", "--username"):
username = v
ask_username = False
elif o in ("-p", "--password"):
passwd = v
ask_password = False
elif o in ("-m", "--message"):
message = v
ask_message = False
elif o in ("-n", "--number"):
number = v
ask_number = False
#Credentials taken here
if ask_username: username = raw_input("Enter USERNAME: ")
if ask_password: passwd = getpass()
if ask_message: message = raw_input("Enter Message: ")
if ask_number: number = raw_input("Enter Mobile number: ")
I dont think it is, because I am using 4 objects just for checking if command line argument was provided...
Guide me with the best way of doing
it..
