Passing arguments to a Python script using an environment variable like: export en_auth="--arg1 test --arg2 \"$(<private_key.pem)\"" ./test.py $en_auth Incorrectly treats the value of arg2 as another argument rather than a value because the file value being inserted starts with "--": -----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS----- BggqhkjOPQMBBw== -----END EC PARAMETERS----- sys.argv parses it as: ['--arg1', 'test', '--arg2', '"-----BEGIN', 'EC', 'PARAMETERS-----', 'BggqhkjOPQMBBw==', '-----END', 'EC', 'PARAMETERS-----"'] If the arguments are provided directly to the script it parses correctly: ./test.py --arg1 test --arg2 "$(<private_key.pem)" ['--base-api-url', 'test', '--provisioning-device-private-key', '-----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS-----'] This looks like two bugs...sys.argv is splitting the value incorrectly because its ignoring the quoting, and argparse is treating values that start with -- as arguments. |

That looks like you need to learn more about the shell. It is not a Python bug. |
