Parsing command line arguments in Python

Applications Programming

Hi,

I've a python script called aaa.py and passing an command line option " -a" to the script like, ./aaa.py -a
& Inside the script if the -a option is given I do some operation if not something else.

code looks like

./aaa.py -a
.
.
if options.a
---some operation---
if not options.a
----something---

Now the QUESTION IS, I am calling another script called bbb.py inside this aaa.py script and if i want to pass the -a option to this sub script, How can I pass it and How to parse it from the bbb.py script?

bbb.py:

import sys, aaa

a = aaa.FoundA(sys.argv) # sys.argv is a list of all args past to script

if a:
    print 'Found argument "-a"'
else:
    print 'Argument "-a" not found'

aaa.py:

def FoundA(args):
    if '-a' in args:
        return True
    return False
