So to run the script with Python 3 you could do $ python3 vectorsum.py 42 in the shell. This implicitly sets sys.argv[1] to "42" so that the conversion size = int(sys.argv[1]) can succeed. This conversion failed because as the traceback indicates > ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) > <ipython-input-8-a54a878f293d> in <module>() > 37 return c > 38 > ---> 39 size = int(sys.argv[1]) > 40 > 41 start = datetime.now() > > ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '-f' > sys.argv[1] is "-f" which is not a valid (base-10) integer. This value probably got into ipython3 because you invoked it with something like $ ipython3 console -f foo Python 3.4.3 (default, Oct 14 2015, 20:28:29) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
