You're completely misunderstanding the purpose of this line of code. Its
intent is to allow you to pass the matrix file location to the script by
using the '-mf' or '--infmat_file' arguments, thus not requiring you to
edit the script at all.
The 'help' parameter provides a message explaining the usage of that
particular argument if the simpleRun.py script is executed with the '-help'
option.
For example, if you were unsure how to use the simpleRun.py script, you
might run this command:
simpleRun.py -help
And you might see output that looks like this:
Usage: simpleRun.py [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-mf, --infmat_file Path to .mat file containing influence matrix
-d, --dance do a little dance
-l, --love make a little love
The help message thus informs you that you can provide the location to an
influence matrix file by using the '-mf' or '--infmat_file' arguments.
There are also -d and -l options that do ... something.
