The argparse module improves on the standard library optparse module in a number of ways including: * handling positional arguments * supporting sub-commands * allowing alternative option prefixes like + and / * handling zero-or-more and one-or-more style arguments * producing more informative usage messages * providing a much simpler interface for custom types and actions Download argparse ================= The argparse homepage has links for source, MSI and single file distributions of argparse: http://code.google.com/p/argparse/ About this release ================== This is a bugfix release. Various small bugs were squashed, most notably the silencing of the Python 2.6 buggy Exception.message warnings.

Argparse is very neat and indeed more flexible and intuitive then optparse. It's very easy to just inline it in your programs if you don't want the additional dependency.
