a: useraccount class. useraccount() calling constructor of it. note construction made calling it, not new operator. b: @omgtechy stated, take @ argparse. here example might work you:

import argparse parser = argparse.argumentparser(description='useraccount creator')  parser.add_argument('--id', '-i', required=true, help='required. user account id') parser.add_argument('--password', '-p', required=true, help="required. user account's password.") parser.add_argument('--email', '-e', required=true, help='required. user account e-mail') parser.add_argument('--firstname', '-f', required=true, help="required. user account's first name") parser.add_argument('--lastname', '-l', required=true, help="required. user account's last name") parser.add_argument('--birthdaymonth', '-m', required=true, help="required. user account's birthday month") parser.add_argument('--birthdayday', '-d', required=true, help="required. user account's birthday day")  args = parser.parse_args() useraccount = useraccount() useraccount.accountid = args.id useraccount.password = args.password useraccount.primaryemail = args.email useraccount.firstname = args.firstname useraccount.lastname = args.lastname useraccount.birthdaymonth = args.birthdaymonth useraccount.birthdayday = args.birthdayday  # rest, normal  oauthclientid = "";  print("  test creating account: " + useraccount.accountid + ", password: " + useraccount.password + ", email: " + useraccount.primaryemail) accesstoken = client.createaccount(useraccount, oauthclientid) print("    account created!") if accesstoken:     print("      access token account: " + accesstoken) print()
