Using Command Line Arguments in Python | Part 2 - getopt library

In this video, we are going to continue where we left and demonstrate the username and password verification using command line in python with the help of getopt library which provides options as a way to accept command line arguments.

Is it possible to pass a string to getopt outside of the command-line?

For example, these don't work, presumably because they are not an array of arrays?
options, arguments = getopt.getopt("TestOnly -e -w -v", "hqVeuwvrsnRBP:p:b:a:l:g:f:", ["help", "version"])
options, arguments = getopt.getopt("-e -w -v", "hqVeuwvrsnRBP:p:b:a:l:g:f:", ["help", "version"])

How could a string be converted to be recognized by getopt?
