I want to execute a file with parameters like this : ./file.py server adress arg2 arg3 arg4

file1.py :

import MySQLdb# Open database connection
db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TESTDB" )# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = db.cursor()# execute SQL query using execute() method.
cursor.execute("SELECT VERSION()")# Fetch a single row using fetchone() method.
data = cursor.fetchone()print "Database version : %s " % data# disconnect from server
db.close()

Use the built-in module argparse. Or optparse if you're stuck on Python 2.6 or earlier.
