Parameter for script

In a bash or python script I could have parameters when calling it. This seems to be impossible when using zxpy.

Example:

myscript /home

gives

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/manfred/.local/bin/zxpy", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(cli())
  File "/home/manfred/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/zx.py", line 54, in cli
    with open(filename) as file:
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/home'

Is there a way I just overlooked?

Looks good now. Thanks for you quick support.

So I actually found two issues in this:

• zxpy myscript.py /home was being treated as running two programs: zxpy myscript.py and zxpy /home. This is why it was crashing.

• The __name__ value was actually wrong! That’s why zxpy myscript.py wasn’t doing anything. Otherwise it would’ve ran fine on the first command (as sys.argv[1] was still /home), and then crashed when it tried to run the second time.

Anyway, both issues have now been fixed in v1.4.1.

Try running pip install -U zxpy and try your script again, and let me know if it works 😃
