python tutorial 2.1.1
You can access this list by executing import sys. The length of the list is at least one; when no script and no arguments are given, sys.argv[0] is an empty string. 

but, when i try it, the sys.argv[0]is the filename,not empty string.

By "when no script [is] given", it is referring to the use in the interactive interpreter, not in a python file.
