One question related to the instruction aspect- does this make sense to you?
If len(sys.argv) == 0:
print "usage: etc etc etc"
Right idea, but not quite correct.
sys.argv always includes at least one item, the name of the script being
called. This is why you will often see code like this, to extract the actual
arguments:
argv = sys.argv[1:] # slice excluding the first item
if len(argv) == 0:
usage()
else:
main(argv)
or similar.
