This should get you started:
#!/usr/bin/python
# Or whatever the path for the python executable is.
from sys import argv
import pprint
pprint.pprint (sys.argv)

Then, the command line,
puf% cd python/fun/
puf% chmod u+x command_line_args.py
puf% ./command_line_args.py These are the arguments.
['./command_line_args.py', 'These', 'are', 'the', 'arguments.']
puf%
Here, command_line_args.py is the file the script above is in.
You might also want to check out the getopt module.
Alex.
