sys: system; arg: argument; v: variable

sys.argv is a list which contains the command line argument.

How it is used:

Lets assume you want to run a python program file saved with name kiran.py

 

which adds two number input to it from the command line, in that case you can open the command prompt/anaconda prompt,  

> python kiran.py 1 2

you will get 3 as the result 

>> 3 

 

The code in kiran.py

import sys

print(sys.argv[1]+sys.argv[2])

 

Note --- here sys.argv will be ['kiran.py',1,2] i.e. first element is always filename/path
