Passing input to a python script....

[pmcmicha]

I am starting to learn python and I would like to know if there is a way to pass an argument from the command line to a python script? I saw the raw input portion, but I do not think that this will work. I am passing the argument from a ksh script. The argument is a number in case this makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.

The getopt module does a good job:
