I have a script that I want to use with the python shell
(interactivity mode, live interpreter, python3 [return])
and the script I want to have added to the live interpreter (python3 -i script.py) has a if __name__ == '__main__': in it.
When I load the script the if __name__ runs.
I have argsprase in the if __name__ which spits out an error.
So,
I need to be able to add the script to the live interpreter,
but not have certain code in the script run, the code in if __name__.
script.py
#/usr/bin/python3
class myExcellentClass:
def __init__(var1, var2):
self.var1 = var1
self.var2 = var2
def WhatisVar1(self):
return self.var1
def WhatisVar2(self):
return self.var2
if __name__ == '__main__':
import argparse
# setup args parse
# do some stuff here
I'm thinking there must be a variable that I can add to if __name__ that will test for whether the script is being run with -i or not.
For example:
if __name__ == '__main__' && is_interactive == false:
import argparse
# setup args parse
# do some stuff here
If there is a way to call the live interpreter from in side a python3 script,
I would just add -i to the script and have this launch the class added to the live interpreter.
I could split out the class into another file. I would like not to do this if possible.
Example:
scriptA.py
#/usr/bin/python3
class myExcellentClass:
def __init__(var1, var2):
self.var1 = var1
self.var2 = var2
def WhatisVar1(self):
return self.var1
def WhatisVar2(self):
return self.var2
scriptB.py
#/usr/bin/python3
from scriptA import *
if __name__ == '__main__' && is_interactive == false:
import argparse
# setup args parse
# do some stuff here
I usually install the script system wide as a byte-code file for efficiency purposes.
(Yes I know that it's not recommend, nor will the pyc work with different versions of python.)
As I only need to use the -i for testing and trouble shooting,
I would prepare a solution that would allow me to keep everything in one python file.
