sys.argv is the same as argv , len( sys.argv ) is the same as argc in
C :

int main( int argc , char** argv ) { ... }


~~~~~~~~~~~ Test.py ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
print sys.argv
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$ ./Test.py arg1 some_file a_directory
['Test.py', 'arg1', 'some_file', 'a_directory']
