Here's the usage dumped by py2sis if called without parameters:

Python to SIS
usage: py2sis <src> [sisfile] [--uid=0x01234567] [--appname=myapp] [--presdk20] [--leavetemp]

src - Source script or directory
sisfile - Path of the created SIS file
uid - Symbian UID for the application
appname - Name of the application
presdk20 - Use a format suitable for pre-SDK2.0 phones
leavetemp - Leave temporary files in place

So, what you basicaly want to do is to call it with the name of your script, the name of the sis file and the --uid option. UID is a number that represents your app in the Symbian OS. For your own build used only on your phone, use a fake one like 0x01000011. If you're going to distribute the app, go to https://www.symbiansigned.com, register and generate yourself a unique UID.

Please note that the py2sis creates sis files for 1st and 2nd edition phones only. If you have a 3rd edition one, use ensymble instead:

i am trying to make a sis file using command
python ensymble.py py2sis myap.py myap.sis
it creates random uid with other two wanings:no application version and no certificate
but it makes a sis file
problem is when i try to run this sis file in my emulator for 5th edition ,it gives error:application not compatible and after that it says "s60 component missing "
can anybody help me with tha problem ??

You can't run the sis file in the emulator. You can only install it on a phone.

Hi,
Have you installed the python runtime environment to your device? Installing a sis file onl can not be run in the device.

[mamoonraja]

yes i had also installed pythonfors60 and scriptshell, .py files are running using pys60 while sis files are not.
