When writing Python scripts, sometimes you will need to read in the arguments given.
import sys
print sys.argv
Using pop() to retrieve the information, we pull out the stuff we need.
For example the script was called using:
python script.py admin@example.com mypass
Then the arguments can be retrieved using:
args = sys.argv
args.pop(0) # filename for current script
email = args.pop(0) # username/email
password = args.pop(0) # password
