python
Purpose Manually executes a Python program from the command line. The “python”
command is similar to a command executed on a PC. However, other than a
program name and arguments for the program, the command takes no
arguments itself, and is currently unable to spawn an interactive session.
Syntax python [tftp server ip address:]filename
[program arguments...]
Options [(tftp server ip address):]filename
The main file to be executed. This file can be either a file on the file system
accessed through the Web UI, or a file accessible through a TFTP server on
the network. This TFTP functionality reduces the number of times that you
may need to place a program on the file system while developing and
refining functionality. However, the TFTP behavior only works for the
main program. Modules and packages must still be present on the file
system to be used.
program arguments...
Arguments to be supplied to the program.
