    "argv"

    "The list of command line arguments passed to
    a Python script. argv[0] is the script name (it is
    operating system dependent whether this is a full
    pathname or not). If the command was executed
    using the -c command line option to the interpreter,
    argv[0] is set to the string '-c'. If no script name
    was passed to the Python interpreter, argv has
    zero length."
