Question

So, what i am trying to do is LS Mimic in Python code.

I have completed most of the commands, but i have one thing that i cant find the solution

So, if the ls command gets this command line,

ls test1

It should find the test1 directory and then do the ls in that directory.

However, since I can only find ways of creating arguments that needs a keyword before the
actual usage, I cant find the way of doing this..

it cant be something like this

ls -move_dir test1

it is fine if for the program to think if there is no command, it will treat as above way.
( it will find that directory and run ls )

Please help me !!

Does this help?

import argparse
p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
p.add_argument('a', nargs='*')
res = p.parse_args()
print res.a

Result:

% python test.py 1 2 3
['1', '2', '3']
