If you have access to test.py (the source code I mean) you could modify it to pipe the values to a text file perhaps.

I don't know about getopt but all of those things are stored in the list stored under sys.argv

>>> import sys
>>> sys.argv[0]
>>> len(sys.argv)

Try those lines and then you should be able to handle the command line arguments yourself.
