How to pass an array of powershell to a python script

Question

I am actually trying to give an arrayList (System.Collections.ArrayList) in a powershell script to a python script like this :
Powershell script

    $exampleArray= New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
    $tabChemins.Add("test1") | Out-Null
    $tabChemins.Add("test2") | Out-Null
    $tabChemins.Add("test3") | Out-Null
    python.exe .\exampleScriptPython.py $exampleArray

Python script : (I don't want to cycle through all the elements using a loop to create my list.)


    import sys
    print(sys.argv[1])
    print(sys.argv[2])
    print(sys.argv[3])

It gives me element by element but I want them in only one element, Output :

test1
test2
test3

Ideal output :

['test1','test2','test3']

How about print(sys.argv[1:]) then? i.e., values are passed in fine, your problem seems to be in the way you print them (and I guess a few other things that you might wanna do with them). — goodvibration

Thank you @goodvibration it works ! I ask this question because I have multiple arguments to pass in my real powershell script but I think I will just put the array at the end. — Marwane

Seems like you can simply use the array sys.argv[1:] for whatever it is that you want to do.

And if you want to pass it to a function as separate arguments, then I believe that *sys.argv[1:] would do the job.
