python - answered my own question

[Thomas, Mark]

Lucas,

Here's something I did recently in Python to parse a command line.

    try:
        opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], 'bf:h')
    except getopt.error, msg:
        usage('getopt error: ' + str(msg))

    for o, a in opts:
        if o == '-h':
            print __doc__
            return
        if o == '-b':
            foo = 1
        if o == '-f':
            bar = a

Cheers.
