how do I call a function that uses argparse through another function.
def func():
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('env_name', type=str)
parser.add_argument('--exp_name', type=str, default='vpg')
args = parser.parse_args()
~~~ other code here that uses 'args'~~~
def wrap_func()
func(ARGUMENT_PASSING_NOT_VIA_CMD)
wrap_func()
I want to debug it as well so os.system(...) isn’t good for me.
Answer
In your example, you can just add a list of arguments to your func function which is then passed on to parse.parse_args(). And maybe you should move the import argparse to the beginning of the script with other imports.
def func(arg_list):
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('env_name', type=str)
parser.add_argument('--exp_name', type=str, default='vpg')
args = parser.parse_args(arg_list)
~~~ other code here that uses 'args'~~~
def wrap_func()
func(list_of_arguments_you_want_to_pass)
wrap_func()
You can find some examples here.
