Python script doesn't receive arguments from vim's system()

Question

I'm trying to translate text in vim with advise from Replace visual selection. But when I call system('ru2uk', getreg('"')) (args transmited by system's argument) python script doesn't receive args by txt=' '.join(sys.argv[1:]). Concatenation works, the code: system('ru2uk ' . getreg('"'))

From :h system()

When {input} is given and is a string this string is written to a file and passed as stdin to the command.

So the second argument of system() is not "a command-line argument", it's stdin data. And it must be treated properly.
