In Python, when I run this code:
from sys import argv
script, user_name =argv
prompt = '>'
print "Hi %s, I'm the %s script." % (user_name, script)
I get this value error need more than 1 value to unpack:
Traceback (most recent call last):
script, user_name =argv
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
What does that error mean?

Reason of getting THIS value error is probably you didn't provide an argument on the command line . In that case, sys.argv only contains one value, but it would have to have two in order to provide values for both user_name and script.
