Then in that case, why do you use any if-test?  Just substitute the 
letter, as Danny pointed out.

You never said whether you accept more than one letter from the command 
line.  I've been assuming you do, since you used a loop.

for letter in sys.argv[1].upper():
     print "This is uppercase of one of the input letters, %s" % letter
