I have a python module that I need to be able to import and pass arguments that will then be parsed by the main module. What I have looks like this: #main.py if __name__ == '__main__' sys.argv[] #pass arguments if given and whatnot Do stuff... What I need is to add a main() function that can take argument(s) and parse them and then pass them on: #main.py with def main() def main(args): #parse args return args if __name__ == '__main__': sys.argv[] #pass arguments if given and whatnot main(sys.argv) Do stuff... I need to import main.py and pass in arguments that are parsed by the main() function and then give the returned information to the if __name_ == '__main_' part. EDIT To clarify what I am doing #hello_main.py import main.py print(main.main("Hello, main")) ALSO I want to still be able to call main.py from shell via $: python main.py "Hello, main" Thus preserving the name == main Is what I am asking even possible? I would like to, if at all possible, preserve the main.py module that I have been given. Continue reading...
