Pass arguments to script with ipython interactive.

pass_argue_ipytho.md

I am often asked to debug Python scripts written by others. I would like to send these scripts to IPython so it will drop into an IPython shell at the point the script fails.

Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to send (required) command-line options required by the scripts.

IPython assumes everything in is for IPython when I pass the script and its options as:

ipython <script_name> <script_options> Is there a solution or workaround?

ipython -i -c "%run test.py 1 2 3 4"
ipython -- sometest.py 1 2 3 4
