Not able to figure out what is wrong with argparse

[radioactive9]

Hello

I am facing a very unique issue. I have written the following code which will be called by a Tool and pass certain arguments. I was using argpass thinking it will be easy. But I am not able to figure out what is going wrong with it

if __name__ == "__main__":
    log_path = "/var/log/tooly2/"
    log_file = "notifications.log"
    log_file_path = log_path + log_file
    if os.access(log_path, os.W_OK) and os.access(log_path + log_file, os.W_OK):
        # Initialize the default/basic and a custom logger
        logging.basicConfig(filename=log_file_path, level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(process)d %(asctime)s %(levelname)s - %(funcName)s: %(message)s', datefmt="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    else:
        print ("The log directory or the log file is not writable for this script, so no logging is possible. Exiting now.")
        sys.exit(1)
    try:
        n = len(sys.argv)
        logging.debug('Total arguments passed: %s', n) #check the arguments
        logging.debug('I can print the first argument %s', sys.argv[1]) #check arguments 1
        logging.debug('I can print the first argument %s', sys.argv[2]) #check argument 2
        parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
        parser.add_argument("-N", "--host", help="Node Name") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-I", "--IPAddress", help="Node Name") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-S", "--service", help="Service Name")
        parser.add_argument("-D", "--displayname", help="Display Name")
        parser.add_argument("-G", "--group", help="Group")
        parser.add_argument("-E", "--environment", help="Environement") #Taken
        parser.add_argument("-Z", "--newstate", help="Current Type of the alert")
        parser.add_argument("-A", "--appname", help="Application Name")
        parser.add_argument("-HA", "--hostappname", help="Host App Name") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-P", "--priority", help="Priority") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-O", "--output", help="Description") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-T", "--eventtime", help="Event Time") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-OS", "--os", help="Operating System") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-OP", "--operator", help="Operator") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-NT", "--notificationtype", help="Notification Type Problem or Clear") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-ND", "--notification_default", help="Define which Operator") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-NM", "--groupoperatoros", help="OS Group") #taken
        parser.add_argument("-NO", "--groupoperatormw", help="Middleware Group") #taken
        arguments = parser.parse_args()
        logging.debug('I am not able to reach here')
    except Exception as e:
        logging.debug('This message should go to the log file %s', e )
        exit(1)

In the logs I am getting

Output:
5618 2022-03-15 12:36:50 DEBUG - <module>: Total arguments passed: 35
5618 2022-03-15 12:36:50 DEBUG - <module>: I can print the first argument key --host
5618 2022-03-15 12:36:50 DEBUG - <module>: I can print the second argument value ccccccccccc85
5629 2022-03-15 12:37:10 DEBUG - <module>: Total arguments passed: 35
5629 2022-03-15 12:37:10 DEBUG - <module>: I can print the first argument key --host
5629 2022-03-15 12:37:10 DEBUG - <module>: I can print the second argument value xxxxxxxxxx190
5633 2022-03-15 12:37:26 DEBUG - <module>: Total arguments passed: 35

So as you see the line
logging.debug('I am not able to reach here') is not printing which means the code is getting lost somewhere in the argpass

Not sure how to even troubleshoot and figure out the issue

Any direction will be very helpful
