The assignments need to be on separate lines not comma separated

Then, assuming your script is called myscript.py you call it like

$ python myscript.py myinputfile.csv myoutputfile.txt

You can find more in the "talking to the User" topic of my

Please do not send the entire digest, some people pay by the byte.

Also change the subject line to something descriptive so it can be found 
in the archives.
