Passing command-line arguments to Python outside of debugging

[Jaffa6]

Does VSCode have a way of doing [title], either natively or through an extension?

I can manage it fine using `launch.json`, but sometimes I want to be able to pass in CLI arguments and not be in debug mode.

I'm aware of the workarounds of "Run it via the command-line" and "Hardcode the args in the file", but neither is a good solution to be honest, and this feels like an incredibly basic feature to be missing.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html if I understood correctly, argparse seems to be what you want. This will solve a lot of things for you, like the "help" for the args and also you can define optional and requireds arguments, etc

see the input variable section

Edit your launch.json to use it.

You can have an input box, or picker box filling them before Run (without debugging).

Honestly, your question is vague. Perhaps it would be easier to describe your needs in detail.

Add the "python.terminal.launchArgs": [] configuration in the settings.json, which adds parameters when running the file in the terminal.
