title: More effective way of passing several arguments to script?
body: <p>My command line script takes several arguments including strings, ints, floats and lists, and it is becoming a bit tricky to do the call with all arguments:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python myscript.py arg1 arg2 arg3 ... argN
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To avoid having to write all arguments in the command line I have created a text file with all arguments which I simply read line by line to collect arguments. This is working fine, but is this the best practice for doing this? Are there a more effective way?</p>
