How to import from a python script that requires command line input

As an example: I have a python script scip.py with

from sys import argv

# parsing the input
script, NU = argv

def main(NU):
    return 

def somefunc():
    return

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main(NU)

Assume I am in a [I]python shell. I can run the script e.g. via run scip.py 1 . But how can I import the functions from it? import scip fails, because it needs variables to unpack. import scip 1 gives a SyntaxError.

this should do the trick:

def main(NU):
    return 

def somefunc():
    return

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from sys import argv

    # parsing the input
    script, NU = argv
    main(NU)
