python problem...

hi all,
i've a problem in python which i thought what would be easily to solve but i can't find any solution.

ok, my problem is this. In bash you can pass arguments when you start a program like:

goestin@JustinuX:/$ ./script.sh 127.0.0.1
where "127.0.0.1" is a variable stored in $1

how is the same thing possible in python? so i can use this:

goestin@JustinuX:/$ ./script.py 127.0.0.1

is there also a default variable where "127.0.0.1" is stored now?

thanx, goestin

-cheers-

----

#!/usr/bin/python2.3
#test.py

import sys # this one does the trick
print sys.argv[1]
----

./test.py 127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1
