    script = user_name = argv

    Or launch program with more args. Looks like it was supposed to be launched with 2.

    import sys
    
    print 'Argument List:', str(sys.argv)
    
    python args.py here are some command line args
    Argument List: ['args.py', 'here', 'are', 'some', 'command', 'line', 'args']
    

    Arg zero is the name of the script. Show us what your command line is
