Tokensize a string in python

Question

This is what I'm trying to do:

from typer import Option, Typer, echo
app = Typer(name="testapp")
@app.command("run", help="Run a command in my special environment")
def run(
    command: str,
) -> None:
    print (command)

When running this testapp using

testapp run "foobar --with baz --exclude bar --myfancyotheroption"

It works perfectly well because it accepts "command" as a string, instead I wish to be able to tokenize it and just run it as

testapp run foobar --with baz --exclude bar --myfancyotheroption

In the current content, I might have anything as a part of the command, so how do I approach this?

You can use Context :

from typer import Typer, Context

app = Typer(name="testapp")

@app.command(
        "run",
        context_settings={"allow_extra_args": True, "ignore_unknown_options": True},
        help="Run a command in my special environment"
)
def run(ctx: Context) -> None:
    command = " ".join(ctx.args)
    print(command)
