Try this code, save it in file called test.py

def main(From_File, string):
    print 'From_File: %s' % From_File
    print 'string: %s' % string

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    print 'command line'
    print sys.argv
    main(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])

    print 'hardcoded'
    main('test.sco', 'sfd')

H:\>test.py arg1 arg2
command line
['H:\\test.py', 'arg1', 'arg2']
From_File: arg1
string: arg2
hardcoded
From_File: test.sco
string: sfd

argv is in namespace sys, but you don't tell that. Also I would
consider using a none built in and less generic name for the argument
'string' you're using.
