You are looking for sys.argv to access them. Here is a tutorial:

If you want to get more serious and use a package to do this more elegantly, you should research the argparse package which is excellent and very intuitive to use.

Hard to say for sure, but I'm pretty sure OP is asking how to run an external cli script in their python script. – Jared Smith Mar 19 '20 at 17:48
Good point! "Work with them" is pretty ambiguous. If I'm off target, the comment above about using system to run them internally should scratch the itch. – AirSquid Mar 19 '20 at 17:50
no this is not what I want . I don't want to make a command line script . I want to run it inside my code – طاها سمر Mar 19 '20 at 18:18
bummer. Well, you have an option above in the comments. – AirSquid Mar 20 '20 at 03:31
