[Baypiggies] importing variables into python namespace using argparse module

[Eric Walstad]

Hi Abhishek,

In the future please include the full error traceback.  It includes
information that helps in debugging.

It looks like your sam_file_1 variable contains a list when a string
is expected.  You could try printing the value of that variable before
passing it to your read_file function to see what it contains.  You've
changed your code and didn't include all the changes.

Eric.
