[Tutor] How to pass command line variables to this python code...

[J Cook]

Yeah, I figured that. I got it to work thanks, but I still don't

type of programming. BTW - Selenium is a great tool for web testing, and 
the way it will translate your web clickstream into your choice of 
languages rocks.
