How do I call sys.argv list inside a function, from the CLI?

[billykid999]

I tried to define the sys.argv within the class itself, and I still get TypeError 'str' object is not callable.

import sys
import netmiko
import json

from Hardware_info import HardwareMaintenance

Hardware = HardwareMaintenance.hardware_handler


class Connect:
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        # self.protocol = netmiko.ssh_autodetect
        # pass
        intake_file = open('ip_list.txt', 'r')
        self.json_data = [json.loads(line) for line in intake_file]
        self.kwargs = [Hardware]

    def connect_parser(self, inlist=[]):
        inlist = sys.argv[0]
        for data in self.json_data:
            ip = data["ip"]
            # port = data["port"]
            username = data["username"] if data["username"] else ""
            password = data["password"] if data["password"] else ""
            secret = data["secret"] if "secret" in data else False
            device_type = data["device_type"] if data["device_type"] else ""

            if data["header"] == "Netmiko":
                print("The variables being passed:  " + ip, username, password, device_type)
                ConnectHandler = netmiko.ConnectHandler(
                    device_type=device_type,
                    host=ip,
                    username=username,
                    password=password,
                    port=22,
                    secret=data["secret"] if "secret" in data else False
                )
                ConnectHandler.enable()
                for i in inlist:
                    i(ConnectHandler,ip)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from Connect_Handler import Hardware
    from Connect_Handler import Connect
    print(Connect().connect_parser())
    inlist = sys.argv[0]
    #Connector.Connect(inlist)

# def runner():
#    #for i in sys.argv[0]:
#   Hardware(Connector.)
# runner()

notice I added

                for i in inlist:
                    i(ConnectHandler,ip)

to the end under ConnectHandler.enable()

and it's giving me the TypeError 'str' object is not callable
whether or not I pass in a list for sys.argv[0] in the command line.



however when I change inlist to:

    def connect_parser(self, inlist=[]):
        inlist = [Hardware]

notice i included Hardware


and now it is working fine. I don't want to be able to do this by passing in a list in the CLI...

I tried

    def connect_parser(self, inlist=[]):
        inlist = sys.argv[0]

and no go
