Passing Arguments

[theemails at gmail.com]

New to Python ... this should be an easy question to answer.

INPUT

import sys

print 'The command line arguments are:'
for i in sys.argv:
    print i

print '\nThe PYTHONPATH is', sys.path

OUTPUT
The command line arguments are:
C:\Python25\using_sys.py

The PYTHONPATH is ['C:\\Python25\\Lib\\idlelib',
'C:\\Python25\\python25.zip', 'C:\\Python25\\DLLs',
'C:\\Python25\\lib', 'C:\\Python25\\lib\\plat-win',
'C:\\Python25\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python25',
'C:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages']

It works fine when I 'Run Module'...but when I type in interactive mode
in the Python Shell
>>> python using_sys.py test1 test2 test3

I get the following error:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

How can I fix this?
