How to make python command line argument continue in a new line

Question

I have a python program which take a dozen input parameters, so normally I invoke it with python my_script.py --inputA a --inputB b --inputC c --inputD d --inputE e --inputF f --inputG g --inputH h --inputI i --inputJ j --inputK k

This is a long line, and it is not easy to read

I tried add \ charactor after --inputA a in command line, but after return the return key, it will run, not wait for me to input another input parameter

Doesn't have anything do with python. What shell are you using? — rdas, May 30 '19 at 06:49
what you can do in this case , as a parameter take a file, inside the file keep all this pair and parse the file and get the data — sahasrara62, May 30 '19 at 06:49
You need to use the "`" (backtick) character for line-continuation: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3235850/how-to-enter-a-multi-line-command — rdas, May 30 '19 at 07:08

While this is valid code for when the script is taking input, it does not match the question, which is regarding flags passed in the execution command itself. – shriakhilc May 30 '19 at 06:59
