Command Line Arguments for python

Hi-

I have been trying to get the command line arguments for some part of code inside python. Normally I can do that using sys.argv. But cocotb runs via makefile. I got confused on how to take the command line arguments for python file. Is it possible to do something like this here?

==================================================================================== Cocotb version --> 1.6.0 Python --> 3.9.0 Linux Distro --> Fedora Simulator --> Cadence Xcelium

If you want to be able to override only the a=3 default inside the list of PLUSARGS, I’m not enough of a make expert for that. You could however use separate variables and then add them to PLUSARGS after they have been resolved to their final values.

So make TESTCASE=<name> A=11 B=4 along with:

A?=3
B?=4
C?=0

PLUSARGS+=$(A)
PLUSARGS+=$(B)
PLUSARGS+=$(C)

Thank you for the help. This method fulfills my requirement to some extent. But with this now the variable will always have a particular value whether I pass it from the command line or not.

Please rectify me if I’m wrong here: Is it that Makefile can see the values of the variables only at one place? If I’ve defined the values of the variables in command line then it won’t see the values inside the Makefile?
