Sorry ... this didn't tell me anything new :-)
I'll try post the script again, it looks like this:

****************** writesmil.py *********************

from sys import argv

if len(argv)-1 != 6:
  print str(len(argv)-1) + " args resived. Need 6!"
else:
  server, mediafile, tcin, tcout, id, clipname = argv[1], argv[2],
argv[3], argv[4], argv[5], argv[6]
  fil = open("/root/Real/Content/" + id + clipname + ".smil", 'w')
#Open file
  text = "<smil>\n\t<body>\n\t\t<audio src=\"rtsp:" + server + "/" +
mediafile + ".rm\" clip-begin=\"" + tcin + "\" clip-end=\"" + tcout +
"\">\n\t</body>\n</smil>\n"
  fil.write(text)
  fil.close()

***************** /writesmil.py **********************

Okay ... I can figure out from the documentation that I need to have
somekind of def in the beginning of the script - but how and where?
