Here's a script to read the contents of a text file.
from sys import argv
script, filename = argv
#open the file and read contents
txt = open(filename)
print txt.read()
print "Read the file again?"
file_again = raw_input("> ")
txt_again = open(file_again)
print txt_again.read()

Remember that you need to call the script from the command line and then list the things you want to show.
So for instance, if the script is called 'ex12.py', then you would type 'python ex12.py apples strawberries pears'.
The results will then be printed out as:
The script is called: ex12.py
Your first variable is: apples
Your second variable is: strawberries
Your third variable is: pears
Anyway, here is the script.
from sys import argv
script, first, second, third = argv
print "\n"
print "The script is called:", script
print "\n"
print "Your first variable is:", first
print "\n"
print "Your second variable is:", second
print "\n"
print "Your third variable is:", third
print "\n"

Simple script that calculates degrees Fahrenheit.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
x = float(raw_input("°C: "))
fahrenheit = x * 1.8 + 32
print "Fahrenheit: {0:.1f}°F".format (fahrenheit)

Truly there is some absolute rubbish on Netflix. Quite how this sci-fi drama got remade is probably solely down to the success of the writer George R.R. Martin and the Game Of Thrones series.
However, don't be fooled. This series is simply dreadful. No coherent plot, poor acting and characters that do not engage the viewer whatsoever.

So it seems that Halide, the makers of the camera app for iOS have something new launching this month as mentioned here. I wonder what they could be up to? There are already dozens of photo editing applications out there - my go to for RAW editing is Adobe's Lightroom. It would seem pointless to go up against that. Maybe it's not even photography related.
