How do I call sys.argv list inside a function, from the CLI?
#3
I read online the command list in windows reads everything in as a string.
So I changed my __name__ == __main__ to below and it works, as I had to sstrip and split the argument into a list and map it back to a dictionary which stored functions.

I'm sure there's ways to make the code more precise, maybe using a map function, but it is working now.

functions = {'Hardware': Hardware}


if __name__ == "__main__":
    from Connect_Handler import Hardware
    from Connect_Handler import Connect
    inlist = sys.argv[1]
    outlist = inlist.strip("[]").split(",")
    inlist = []
    Connector = Connect()
    for i in outlist:
        inlist.append(functions[i])
    Connector.connect_parser(inlist)
