Using argparse to Obtain Positional Arguments from the Command Line: - fixing typo
<li>Try using your script to make another archived copy of /tmp, this time calling it '''secondtmp.tar'''.<br />
If you didn't provide secondtmp.tar on the command line when you ran the command, you'll notice that your script complained. Try running:<br />
<code>tarchivertarchiver2.py secondtmp.tar</code></li>
<li>You should still be getting prompted about the directory you want to archive, and whether or not you want compression, but you are now telling the script that the created archive should be called secondtmp.tar.</li>
<li>Run the script again, but this time give the archive a different name of your own choice. Your script is part way to being automatable: the user can set the name of the created archive before the script runs. We just need to make this possible for the rest of the required data.</li>
