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

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

By the way, I had to fix another problem to make the "In [2]:" invocation 
work. Let's see if you can do that yourself.
