python

#!/usr/bin/env python  import sys import string  def main():     print sys.argv[1:]  if __name__ == "__main__":     main()

how can rectify error?

you don't want pass html argument python script. instead, like:

display dialog (do shell script "/users/mymac/documents/'microsoft user data'/'outlook script menu items'/ test.py < webpage.html")

print sys.stdin.read()

python html runtime applescript
