I've got not words to thank you all of you for such great advice. Now everything started to make sense. I apologize for for my bad variable naming. It was just because I wanted to quickly learn and I wont carry out such practices when I write the final script with my own enhancements which will be posted here.
I want to go an another step further by passing the values we've isolated (ip,port,and name) to a template. I tried but couldn't get it right even though I feel close. The text I want to construct looks like this. (
Host Address::PORT:<1>
mode tcp
bind : name
I have tried this within the working script provided by rahul.(I've edited my original code abiding stackexchange's regulations. Please help out just this once as well. Many thanks in advance.
#!/usr/bin/python
import argparse
import re
import string
p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
p.add_argument("input", help="input the data in format ip:port:name", nargs='*')
args = p.parse_args()
kkk_list = args.input
def func_three(help):
for i in help:
print(i)
for kkk in kkk_list:
bb = re.split(":|,", kkk)
XXX=func_three(bb)
for n in XXX:
ip, port, name = n
template ="""HOST Address:{0}:PORT:{1}
mode tcp
bind {0}:{1} name {2}"""
sh = template.format(ip,port,name)
print sh

Beginner here. I wrote the below code and it doesn't get me anywhere.
#!/usr/bin/python
import argparse
import re
import string
p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
p.add_argument("INPUT")
args = p.parse_args()
KKK= args.INPUT
bb=re.split(":|,", KKK)
def func_three(help):
for i in help:
#print help
return help
#func_three(bb[0:3])
YY = var1, var2, var3 = func_three(bb[0:3])
print YY
The way to run this script should be "script.py :". i.e: script.py 192.168.1.10:80:string 172.25.16.2:100:string
As you can see if one argument is passed I have no problems. But when there are more arguments I cant determine how to workout the regexes and get this done via a loop.
So to recap, this is how i want the output to look like to proceed further.
192.168.1.10
80
name1
172.25.16.2
100
name2
If there are better other ways to achieve this please feel free to suggest.

Please name your variable with respect to context. You will need to use nargs=* for accepting multiple arguments. I have added the updated code below which prints as you wanted.
#!/usr/bin/python
import argparse
import re
import string
p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
p.add_argument("input", help="input the data in format ip:port:name", nargs='*')
args = p.parse_args()
kkk_list = args.input # ['192.168.1.10:80:name1', '172.25.16.2:100:name3']
def func_three(help):
for i in help:
print(i)
for kkk in kkk_list:
bb = re.split(":|,", kkk)
func_three(bb)
print('\n')
# This prints
# 192.168.1.10
# 80
# name1
# 172.25.16.2
# 100
# name3
Updated Code for new requirement
#!/usr/bin/python
import argparse
import re
import string
p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
p.add_argument("input", help="input the data in format ip:port:name", nargs='*')
args = p.parse_args()
kkk_list = args.input # ['192.168.1.10:80:name1', '172.25.16.2:100:name3']
def printInFormat(ip, port, name):
formattedText = '''HOST Address:{ip}:PORT:{port}
mode tcp
bind {ip}:{port} name {name}'''.format(ip=ip,
port=port,
name=name)
textWithoutExtraWhitespaces = '\n'.join([line.strip() for line in formattedText.splitlines()])
# you can break above thing
# text = ""
# for line in formattedText.splitlines():
# text += line.strip()
# text += "\n"
print(formattedText)
for kkk in kkk_list:
ip, port, name = re.split(":|,", kkk)
printInFormat(ip, port, name)
# HOST Address:192.168.1.10:PORT:80
# mode tcp
# bind 192.168.1.10:80 name name1
# HOST Address:172.25.16.2:PORT:100
# mode tcp
# bind 172.25.16.2:100 name name3
