A quick correction. That should be (note the *):
if __name__ == "__main__":
main(*sys.argv[1:])

Saad,
The first sys.argv is not needed.
Notice how i have replied below the text i am quoting? That is

There's no need to look up sys.argv[1] twice, nor any need to write
main(x) in both blocks. You
Saad, please don't send HTML emails, as it destroys the essential
formatting of your code.

arguments = sys.argv[1:] #
I've come up with this:
try:
sys.argv[1]
x = sys.argv[1]
main(x)
except IndexError:
main(x)
It works but seems hackish.

Hi,
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
x = 'Saad is a boy'
def main(x):
a = []
b = x.split(' ')
for item in b:
a.append(item)
print a
if __name__ == '__main__':
x = sys.argv[1]
main(x)
How can I make this program run with the default value of x if I don't
specify an argument at the command line
