## Run python script at launch
In case you need to execute a python script when Blender is started (aka [`-P`](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/command_line/arguments.html#python-options)), for example to programmatically modify a blender file for conformation, you can create an OpenPype hook as follows:
```python
from openpype.hosts.blender.hooks import pre_add_run_python_script_arg
from openpype.lib import PreLaunchHook
class MyHook(PreLaunchHook):
"""Add python script to be executed before Blender launch."""
order = pre_add_run_python_script_arg.AddPythonScriptToLaunchArgs.order - 1
app_groups = [
"blender",
]
def execute(self):
self.launch_context.data.setdefault("python_scripts", []).append(
"/path/to/my_script.py"
)
```
You can write a bare python script, as you could run into the [Text Editor](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/editors/text_editor.html).
### Python script with arguments
#### Adding arguments
In case you need to pass arguments to your script, you can append them to `self.launch_context.data["script_args"]`:
```python
self.launch_context.data.setdefault("script_args", []).append(
"--my-arg",
"value",
)
```
#### Parsing arguments
You can parse arguments in your script using [argparse](https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html) as follows:
```python
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
description="Parsing arguments for my_script.py"
)
parser.add_argument(
"--my-arg",
nargs="?",
help="My argument",
)
args, unknown = arg_parser.parse_known_args(
sys.argv[sys.argv.index("--") + 1 :]
)
print(args.my_arg)
```
