Passing array from shell to python

Hello friends

I am creating a script where on runtime passing some command line arguments like ::

$./newServerStatus.sh dev_case_01 dev_auth_01 dev_rnp_01 ...

Now I need to use these parameters in a shell and from there this array needs to be passed to a python. Can someone please help me how should I pass and retreive this. Any help would be greatly appreciable.

Thanks

Not sure how you're calling your Python script, but here's how you can process command-line arguments inside Python:

For passing arguments from a Unix shell script to another process (e.g. Python), there seems to be a special variable "$@" which I think represents all the arguments for the current (Unix) process as separate strings. Some more information here:

HTH!
