Post Processing - Can't get any argument to the python script.

Hello wpboucher ,

You can check the Python documentation on sys.argv for information on getting command line arguments. Something like this should output the arguments that were passed to a script. 

import sys

print str(sys.argv)

Still did not work. I just used Python + Watchdog to listen to new report.results.xml files being created. Far from ideal but since i could not use the post processing... Could it be a windows user privilege issue?

wpboucher ,

I'm not certain what Windows privileges you would need to run a Python file and retrieve the arguments. You would need to check with your IT if you are not able to get the above test file to work from the command prompt.

Passing arguments does appear to be able to work from quant, at least on my system.

In Quant 10.2 I set up the following Post Process

I was able to get the following from the script I posted above, with the addition of an input statement to pause the console output.

I'm using IronPython 2.7 just because it is already installed on this system, but as far as I know this should work with any version of Python.
