How To Take Infinite Number Of Arguments In Argparse?

I am making a Python command line tool with argparse that decodes and encodes Morse code. Here is the code: parser.add_argument('-d','--decode',dest='Morse',type=str,help='Decode M

Solution 1:

The shell splits the input into separate strings on space, so

MorseCli.py -e Hello there

sys.argv that the parser sees is

['MorseCli.py', '-e', 'Hello', 'there']

With nargs='+' you can tell the parser to accept multiple words, but the parsing result is a list of strings:

args.encode = ['Hello', 'there']

The quoting suggestion keeps the shell from splitting those words

['MorseCli.py', '-e', 'Hello there']
