Hi there.
I am trying write a module that can be executed at the command line and for some reason it's not working. Does anyone know why?
import sys
def fibonacci(N):
a,b =0,1
while b < N:
a,b = b, a+b
print b
N=sys.argv[1]Does it matter that I'm running it on a windows command prompt?
Try this:
sys.argv[0]
or
sys.argv[-1]
that should work.
Thank you all very much! This worked for me:
import sys
N = int(sys.argv[1])
a,b =0,1
while b < N:
a,b = b, a+b
print b
I would prefer to call your nice, little code script, not module. Module I call code, which is imported to other Python code to call useful functions from it. Script is something traditional C coding like stdin to stdout input/output or using command arguments from invocation.
