To pass a string to python script using Linux/Unix Script parameters from datasource

It works on my Python datasources simply by putting the argument in quotes. I'm using argparse instead of sys.argv. Maybe that makes the difference?

You could move whatever might have spaces to the end, then parse your arguments from left to right, knowing that when you get to the Nth argument, everything after it should be joined back together:

# ~$ python3 test.py 16353583 abracadabra This is one argument

import sys
arguments = sys.argv
print(f"All arguments: {arguments}")
print(f"Argument 1: {arguments[1]}")
print(f"Argument 2: {arguments[2]}")
print(f"Argument 3: {' '.join(arguments[3:])}")
