using emacs-mode.el to execute with arguments

Question

I'm writing a script that takes arguments, and I'd like to use emacs-model.el's C-c C-c to execute it while I'm writing it. But this merely runs the script without arguments, which then causes my script to complain.

Is there an elegant way around this? My current solution is to hardcode the arguments.

`emacs-mode.el` or `emacs-model.el`? You've written both versions, but neither is a core library, and you haven't provided any links. — phils, Jul 22 '12 at 22:28

C-c C-c isn't the right command to run your Python script. It will send your current buffer to the Python interpreter, just as though you had entered it there manually. If you used the recommended if __name__ == '__main__': line in your script, it won't run there anyway.

A better way is the command "shell-command", bound to M-!. You can enter the shell command to run your script in the minibuffer, and recall it the next time with M-p. See more details with C-h k M-!.

You could use M-: then at the prompt (my-func arg1 arg2)

Or you could put (my-func arg1 arg2) in the buffer somewhere near the function and C-x C-e at the end of it.
