I just noticed this post.  It's a few days old and I don't see
any replies, so I'll try.  According to the docs you can't run
with arguments directly.  You need a function that calls your
script with arguments.  See "Running a File" in:

    http://www.python.org/idle/doc/idle2.html

Also, I don't think this is what you want but I'll mention it
anyway.  From a commandline you can run a script in idle with:

    python idle.py ascript.py arg1 arg2 ...
