sys.argv[] is used to obtain command line parameters, sys.argv[0] represents the file path of the code itself; for example, enter "python test.py -help" on the CMD command line, then sys.argv[ 0] means "test.py".

sys.startswith() is used to determine what an object starts with. For example, entering "'abc'.startswith('ab')" on the python command line will return True

Reference to the following examples:

#!/usr/local/bin/env python
import sys
def readfile(filename):
    '''Print a file to the standard output.'''
    f = file(filename)
    while True:
          line = f.readline()
          if len(line) == 0:
             break
          print line,
    f.close()
print "sys.argv[0]---------",sys.argv[0]                                    
print "sys.argv[1]---------",sys.argv[1]                                    
print "sys.argv[2]---------",sys.argv[2]
# Script starts from here
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    print 'No action specified.'
    sys.exit()
if sys.argv[1].startswith('--'):
   option = sys.argv[1][2:]
   # fetch sys.argv[1] but without the first two characters
   if option == 'version':
      print 'Version 1.2'
   elif option == 'help':
      print '''"
           This program prints files to the standard output.
           Any number of files can be specified.
           Options include:
           --version : Prints the version number
           --help    : Display this help'''
   else:
       print 'Unknown option.'
       sys.exit()
else:
    for filename in sys.argv[1:]:
        readfile(filename)
执行结果:# python test.py --version help
sys.argv[0]--------- test.py
sys.argv[1]--------- --version
sys.argv[2]--------- help
Version 1.2

Note: sys.argv[1][2:] means intercepting from the second parameter, starting from the third character to the end. The result in this example is: version
