I'm trying to create a Python program that can take in any arbitrary arguments or be passed arguments via a Posix pipe.

For example:

program.py any arbitrary args here

--or--

ls -Fl | program.py

I've been playing around with:

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('args', nargs=argparse.REMAINDER)
parser.add_argument('stdin', nargs='?', type=argparse.FileType('r'), default=sys.stdin)
args = parser.parse_args().args

if not sys.stdin.isatty():
# what am I doing?

  • I think piped input is come from `sys.stdin`. Are they passed as arguments? – ghchoi Oct 08 '19 at 02:40
