Pass arguments to code files by writing them to a file before launching.
Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_
or individual libraries can be installed using
`circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>`_.
Installing from PyPI
=====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-argv-file/>`_.
To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-argv-file
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-argv-file
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-argv-file
Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup
==========================================================
Make sure that you have ``circup`` installed in your Python environment.
Install it with the following command if necessary:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install circup
With ``circup`` installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the
following command to install:
.. code-block:: shell
circup install adafruit_argv_file
Or the following command to update an existing version:
.. code-block:: shell
circup update
Usage Example
=============
.. code-block:: python
import supervisor
from adafruit_argv_file import write_argv
write_argv("argv_file_otherfile.py", [42, "CircuitPython is Cool", None, [1, 2, 3]])
print("Launching: argv_file_otherfile.py")
supervisor.set_next_code_file("argv_file_otherfile.py")
supervisor.reload()
argv_file_otherfile.py
----------------------
.. code-block:: python
from adafruit_argv_file import read_argv
args = read_argv(__file__)
print(args)
