To run python programs which require input parameters in Textpad, go to the
Tools menu

Tools >> Run...

This will bring up a screen with the following input options:

Command: <put full path to the Python.exe binary here>
Parameters: <put your command line parameters here>

Parameters could look like this:

C:\scripts\myscript.py arg1 arg2 arg3

for example

That should do it for you?
