^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hi John,
The code highlighted above looks unusual. Can you explain why the code
assigns to sys.argv?
Ah, ok, I assume that you're trying to pass state with the 'chgpwd_enq'
program:
> transid = chgpwd_enq.main()
If so, you may want to do this more directly, by modifying
chgpwd_enq.main() to take in arguments. For example, something like this:
chgpwd_enq.main('junk', user='jgooch.admin')
Using sys.argv to pass state between the two Python programs is slightly
weird because there are easier mechanisms such as direct parameter passing
between functions.

The bug here is that sys.argv should contain three arguments:
sys.argv = [ 'junk', '-u', 'jgooch.admin' ]
But even so, the whole mechanism of passing state between the ASP page and
the chgpwd_enq program with sys.argv sounds weird: it may be more direct
to call chgpwd_enq.main() with those arguments instead.
Good luck!
