gunicorn + argparse not work

[antct]

I try to depoly my pytorch model with argparse module.
It seems that the argparse module declared in the app will replace the arguments of gunicorn.
And I have encountered such a problem like this:

usage: gunicorn [-h] [--mode MODE] [--batch_size BATCH_SIZE] [--warmup WARMUP]

gunicorn: error: unrecognized arguments: -w 1 -b 0.0.0.0:3101 --reload -t 500 api:app

The hints in the above section are the model parameters in the app.
Thanks~

Can you show how you are creating your application and parsing the CLI with argparse?

Gunicorn calls parse_args on its own instance of argparse. You can implement a custom application that does something else, or you can ensure to mutate sys.argv, or pass your own arguments to parse_args, if you call it after Gunicorn starts.

Thanks for your reply, I found if I use argparse module in my APP like args = parser.parse_args(sys.argv), the arguments of gunicorn may not work.
I try to replace it with args, unknown = parser.parse_known_args(), everything goes well.
Thanks ~

Can the issue be closed, then? Do you need help to parse your own command line switches and the gunicorn switches together?

Thanks again!

I have a question How do I pass the env parameter through?

gunicorn -c gunicorn.conf.py app:app '/--env=prod/'

2023-03-09 10:04:32.438 | INFO     | config.log_info:info:79 - args: Namespace(env='dev'), unknown: ['-c', 'gunicorn.conf.py', 'app:app', '/--env=prod/']

part of the code

from config.log_info import Logging
args, unknown = parser.parse_known_args()
Logging.info(f"args: {args}, unknown: {unknown}")
return vars(args)
