a dictionary string causes sys.argv to split a single string argument into multiple parts (vscode)-CodePudding

I have a program I'm running similar to:

some_script.py --arg1="{'a':'1','b':'2'}"

in vscode I'm trying to run this by adding to my launch.json

args:[
"arg1=/"{'a':'1','b':'2'}/" "
]

and if I break point inside of some_script.py and run:

import sys
print(sys.argv)

I get:

['<cwd>/some_script.py', "--arg1='a':'1'", "--arg1='b':'2'"]

why is it not:

['<cwd>/some_script.py', "--arg1={'a':'1','b':'2'}"]

CodePudding user response：

Try this simple script:

import sys
if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(sys.argv)

As per docs command line parameters are available in sys.argv[:1], play around see what your script gets. If you need to parse command line parameters check argparse module.

If you want the result below, why not modify "args" in this way:

        "args":[
            "--arg1={'a':'1','b':'2'}"
            ],
