How to pass FROM applescript variable to shell script?

I have the following script

 #!/bin/bash
 /usr/bin/osascript << EOT
 set myfile to choose file
 EOT

 no_ext=$(python -c "print '$myfile'.split('.')[0]")

 ### this works - just need to know how to pass the arg
 R CMD Sweave no_ext.Rnw
 pdflatex no_ext.tex
 open no_ext.pdf

Can someone tell me how to pass myfile variable correctly?

EDIT thanks for all the suggestions!

I don’t know what to accept, all your answers really helped me, since I learned a lot from everyone.
