Pass command line arguments to python script that is called through unix executable

I have a file named "uscf" in /usr/local/bin:

#! /bin/sh
python3 ~/Desktop/path/to/uscf.py

I have already chmod +x this file so that I can run it from my terminal with the command "uscf". How can I run this with command line arguments so that the arguments are accessible through sys.argv in uscf.py?

EDIT: Added below example for clarification:

The uscf.py file:

import sys
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
print(sys.argv)

Running it from the command line:

Abraham$ uscf these are arguments

Expected output:

these are arguments

In sh the "$@" variable contains all the positional arguments passed to the script. You can use that to pass it to your python script:

#!/bin/sh
python3 $HOME/Desktop/path/to/uscf.py "$@"
