== Introduction ==

It's really easy to use command-line arguments in your app.  Import sys and
in your subclass of wxApp, just use sys.argv.

== Code Sample ==

{{{
#!/usr/bin/env python
import wx
import sys

class MyApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        args = sys.argv[1:]
        frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, "args = %s" % (args,))
        frame.Show(True)
        self.SetTopWindow(frame)
        return True

app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()

}}}

Then, at the command prompt:

{{{
prompt:chmod +x tmp.py
prompt:./tmp.py test
}}}

Or, for more complex handling, use the Python getopt or optparse modules. - JohnFouhy

=== Comments ===

On Windows's command prompt, only

{{{
python UsingCommandLineArguments.py opt1 opt2
}}}
works, but not the direct call:
{{{
UsingCommandLineArguments.py opt1 opt2
}}} - Franz Steinhaeusler
