Multiplying two integers produces the result you expect.

Multiplying a *string* by an integer is what you are doing. (And it just 
repeats the string a number of times -- not what you want.)

Your code used to have int(...) to convert the string supplied by 
sys.argv into integers.  What happened to them?
