R. David Murray added the comment:

Well, again, your suggested change for sys.argv is less optimal English.  The 
text as is seems fine to me.

'feed' is a term generally used when there is a source separate from the 
command (for example, we speak about a unix pipe feeding data from one command 
to the next).  A command line argument is not generally spoken about as being 
"fed" into the command.  And the relevance of pickle in this context completely 
escapes me.  Interpret programs is what Python does (Python is, after all, one 
of the class of programs referred to as an interpreter).

I thank you for your desire to improve the python documentation, but so far 
your suggestions have not been improvements.  It would probably be most helpful 
if you stick to pointing out places where you found the documentation 
confusing, explain your confusion as much as you can, and leave the writing of 
the improvements to the native English speakers.
