Since you haven't told us what you have passed as argv, I will look into
my crystal ball and use my psychic powers... 

Things are unclear... no, wait, I see a glimmer of light... are you using
a single string, something like "this is a list of arguments"? The
function is expecting a list of strings ["this", "is", "a", "list", "of",
"arguments"].

You may find the split() method useful for breaking up a single string
into a list of strings.
