I'm testing some python code that parses command line input. Is there a way to pass this input in through IDLE? Currently I'm saving in the IDLE editor and running from a command prompt.
I'm running Windows.

IDLE now has a GUI way to add arguments to sys. argv! Under the 'Run' menu header select 'Run... Customized' or just Shift+F5... A dialog will appear and that's it!
Method 1 (CMD /K): Execute a command and then remain Now what if you want to execute multiple command prompt commands from Python? If that's the case, you can insert the '&' symbol (or other symbols, such as '&&' for instance) in between the commands.
In Python, arguments are passed to a script from the command line using the sys package. The argv member of sys ( sys. argv ) will store all the information in the command line entry and can be accessed inside the Python script. Python's getopt module can also be used to parse named arguments.
It doesn't seem like IDLE provides a way to do this through the GUI, but you could do something like:
idle.py -r scriptname.py arg1 arg2 arg3 You can also set sys.argv manually, like:
try: __file__ except: sys.argv = [sys.argv[0], 'argument1', 'argument2', 'argument2'] (Credit http://wayneandlayne.com/2009/04/14/using-command-line-arguments-in-python-in-idle/)
