It's how you read the argument from the command line


Example, a simple script

import sys

for x in sys.argv:
     print "Argument: ", x

and then how you can us it

>python ex.py
Argument:  ex.py
>python ex.py hello
Argument:  ex.py
Argument:  hello
>python ex.py hello world
Argument:  ex.py
Argument:  hello
Argument:  world
