Since you're using slicing instead of indexing, you're printing a list,

instead of
print sys.argv[1:] # slice list
I suggest working through a tutorial or two. Pay special attention to
the difference between an object's value and the various ways that value

Is there a way to neatly, in one call to the parameter, to get rid of
