Sys.argv is, no?

argparse library and sys.argv are way different.

argparse is meant to simplify command-line handling, not positional and can be required or optional.

if we use sys.argv, that's essentially a list of strings, so we're getting into manipulation of strings to find the place where -i is, where -m is and so forth.

something like

if sys.argv[1] == '-i' or sys.argv[1] == --ip_address:
 self.address = sys.argv[2] 
# 2 because 1 would be the position and 2 where the actual value you want would be, 
# but that's hoping.

and you can see the chaining of if statements that would require, even if we put it in a for loop, it's not efficient, how many times do we need to iterate to find the actual values?

hence why I structured it the way I did.

Yup. I knew they were different, just not sure how. Have heard very good things about argpasrse though!

Will take a look later. Thanks.
