passing vars to py scipts in cron jobs

[brad]

What's the proper way to call a py script and pass in variables while
doing cron jobs? I can run the scripts fine from idle, python, etc using
raw_input() to prompt users. The scripts have classes with methods that
need arguments. Here's an example... I want to run c1.d1(v,v,v) then
c2.d2(v,v,v)

class c1:
# User defined vars
def d1(var1, var2, var3):
pass

class c2:
# User defined vars
def d2(var1, var2, var3):
pass

Thanks,
Brad

This is commonly done with either sys.argv (a list of arguments
passed when invoking the script) or os.environ (a dictionary of
environment variables and values). Use either to instantiate your
classes or run functions.
