For this particular issue, you can start by reading the Python manual at 
"http://www.python.org".  Look in the Global Module Index for the "sys" 
module and you'll find argv listed.  This is a string, so look under the 
"string" module and you'll find "upper()". 

Since you are new to both Python and Programming, it would be worth your 
while to consult some tutorial material, e.g. the tutorial in the 
documentation, and "Dive Into Python" at "http://diveintopython.org".

Steve
