If no input is given, I like to read from stdin continuously, which is very useful during meetings:
if not args.acronym: # Continuous input
acronyms = map(str.rstrip, sys.stdin)This requires an import sys, and also an from future_builtins import map if you are under Python 2.
I think that the current names of the SWGs are not accurate, or at least not as people are using them. For example the galaxy evolution SWG seems to now be called "GAE", rather than "GEV" as in the current list here. Similarly, people have been calling the CMB cross-correlation SWG "CMBX". It may be that other working groups have also evolved in what they're called - it's worth checking against this acronym list.
I'm using the official (yet annotated) Euclid Consortium Acronym List, but Merge Requests are welcome! (in the limit of not-too-obscure acronyms)
BY THE WAY, note this gist is DEPRECATED, official repo is now https://gitlab.euclid-sgs.uk/ycopin/euclidator, with a shiny web interface at http://ycopin.pages.euclid-sgs.uk/euclidator/
Where's this official list located? I can check it against the acronyms
that I think people are using. Since these acronyms are very confusing
for new people, we should at least be consistent! So I'd like to either
get the official ones changed or get people to use the official ones.

Please let's move this discussion to https://gitlab.euclid-sgs.uk/ycopin/euclidator!
I notice that already during Yannick's introductory talk in Oslo, we have several acronyms that aren't in the list! I spotted these, and there are probably more: CPC ECICIC ECCOM DDP MKP.

Comment: Add the following Euclid Archiver User Group (EAUG) acronyms:
CPS: Consortium Processing Service (in EAS)
CUS: Consortium User Service (in EAS)
Dbview: Metadata storage browser in EAS
DPS: Data Processing System (EAS interface to EC user)
MAL: Metadata Access Layer (in EAS)
MEX: Metadata EXplorer
[SAS: I would like to know what this stands for (EAS interface to public user)]
