[Tutor] sending both a filename and an argument from the command line

Hi



It seems I can send either a file(s), or arguments to a python script, but not both:

I want to do:

python ip.py myfile -i myargument

or even:

cat myfile | python ip.py -i myargument



Neither works, although if I do

cat myfile | python ip.py - myargument

the program begins working and even prints out some correct output before aborting with:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'myargument'



Is there a way to accomplish this?



Thanks 

Ben
