Hello,
I have a situation where I have 2 lists
List1 = ['blue', 'red', green']
List2 = ['red', 'yellow', 'orange']
And I would like to pass the list name on the command line like so
./test.py List1
I know I can get the argument using sys.argv[1]
But how can I then use the values in that list inside my program?
If I do a VALUES = sys.argv[1], then I get List1 as the values. I want the
actual list elements.
Is this possible?
Thank you
Jason
