Look at the error message.  Carefully!  It says, quite clearly, the call

which of course can't be converted to an integer.



Now the question is how you ran the program in such a manner that

sys.argv[3] has such an odd value.

What does your command line look like?  You didn't tell us, but that's

where the trouble is.

how do you meen "what does your command line look like?"

When you run this python script,  *how* do you do so?

Perhaps you type something like:
  python script.py 21 '*' 42
If not, then how do you supply values for the script's sys.argv?

If it is like that, then I see the most likely potential problem. The asterisk character (on Linux at least) is considered a wild-card character -- it is replaced by a list of local files so your command becomes
  python script.py 21 somefile1 somefile2 somefile3 <...and so on.> 42

If you put it in quotes, then it won't be expanded (at least in the usual Linux shells -- you system may vary) and you'll end up with the asterisk in sys.argv[2] and the number in sys.argv[3].
