[QGIS-Developer] passing parameters to QGIS Python-Script started via Command Line

[Ujaval Gandhi]

One option is to set env variables before launching the qgis command. The env
variables can be read from python.


set QGIS_MESSAGE=Helllo World




Then your myscript.py can be something like


from qgis.utils import iface
import os

message = os.environ['QGIS_MESSAGE']
iface.messageBar().pushMessage(message)
