"""
Simple str.split() parsing of input string

usage example:
  python list_ops.py --input_list=$INPUT [--sep=","] [--op=<len|select>] [--elem=$INDEX]

Args:
  - input_list: input string
  - sep (default ","): separator string
  - elem (default 0): integer index
  - op (default "select"): either `len` or `select`
    - len: prints len(input_list.split(sep))
    - select: prints input_list.split(sep)[elem]

Typical usage would be in a bash script, e.g.:

  LIST_LEN=$(python list_ops.py --input_list=$INPUT --op=len)
