from sys import argv script, first, second, third = argv print("the script called:",script) print("your first variable is:",first) print("your second variable is:", second) print("your third variable :",third) 

i tried run on spyder error occurs.i gonna paste last lines of spyder console valueerror: not enough values unpack (expected 4, got 1)

please me figure out issue, thanks.

you aren't passing in command line arguments when run script, though it's expecting 3 arguments. you're getting error because you're trying extract more values out of args contains.

command line arguments data you're giving program. pass dummy data arguments when run script:

python your_script_here.py 1 2 3 

the 1 2 3 arguments being passed.

my example modified this tutorial. it's worth read-over.
