Check your spelling
print "decimal equivalent is = %d " %(socket.inet_aton(sys.srgv[0]))

And I would strongly suggest that you print sys.argv[0] to see what you are sending. In the future please add some print statements to your code and at least try to do some debugging yourself. Just a heads up, if you continue to ask this type of question you will get a reputation and no one will answer any of your questions. So your code should be, at the very least
print "sending", sys.argv[0], "to inet"
result = socket.inet_aton(sys.argv[0])
print "result received =", result, type(result)
print "decimal equivalent is = %d " %(result)
