I'm writing a little program with optparse. It should format shellcode. The problem is, that python doesn't accept e.g "\x31" as argument and interpret it as "x31". Of course it is possible to build a workarround.
But is there a way to work with an input like so?:
python prog.py -t \x31\xCA
print(args) => '\x31\xCA'
Use quotation marks: python prog.py -t "\x31\xCA"
