Hi,

I have a python script(.py). It purpose is to download several video. However, this python script need to pass 2 arguments (name_of_video and Target_directory). May I know what is the correct python to use to execute the python(.py) script by passing the 2 arguments in ANACONDA PROMPT????

Anaconda Prompt is just a cmd version that always point to the python version in your Anaconda installation.

(base) C:\Users\Tom>python -V
Python 3.6.5 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)

(base) C:\Users\Tom>python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
G:\Anaconda3\python.exe

If place the file in any folder,
Anaconda Prompt will always use own python version to execute script as shown over.
Simple example of a scripts that take command line argument.

# foo.py
from sys import argv

script, video, path, = argv
print(f'Movie name is: {video}')
print(f'Path is: {path}')

Anaconda Prompt:

(base) C:\bar>python foo.py Seven C:/my_path
Movie name is: Seven
Path is: C:/my_path
