Hi,
Just looked it up in Python Essential Reference, argv is part of the sys module:
The sys module contains variables and functions that pertain to the operation of the interpreter and its enviroment.
Python Essential Reference says:
argv: List of command-line options passed to a program. argv[0] is the name of the program.
Anyone who programs in Python should have a copy of Python Essential Reference.

Hope this helps.
