Hi Biter,

Please send replies back to biopython@biopython.org.  That way, even if my
mailbox gets clogged, your question will still get through to the rest of
the list.


If you want to set up the argument list while in the interactive
interpreter, you can do this by assigning your customized list to the
'sys.argv' variable.  For example:

###
>>> import sys
>>> sys.argv = ['test', 'hello', 'world']
###

By the way, if you have beginning Python questions, you're always welcome
to ask on the Python-Tutor mailing list:
