A Python script that I want to use (called snakefood
) is normally run from the commandline and takes commandline arguments, eg:
sfood /path/to/my/project
The parsing of the commandline arguments happens in a file called gendeps.py using optparse
. However, I want to use the snakefood module from another script. Is there a way I can somehow mock the passing of commandline arguments to snakefood
or a way of rewriting gendeps.py
so that it doesn't depend on optparse
anymore?
You can always assign a new list to
sys.argv
:optparse
usessys.argv[1:]
as input when no explicit arguments have been passed in.
