I suggest moving the index entries about argparse, optparse and logging from the catch-all and slightly obscure “Generic Operating System Services” heading to “Program Frameworks”.

I can open a bug and attach a patch if people are +1.

Argparse and optparse are in fact interfaces for OS command line services. I can't see how could they be used without it. Cmd2 could be called "Program Framework", but it is not in stdlib as far as I know. And "Program Framework" sounds too abstract and obscure. Is Django a "Program Framework", abc module? I would keep it low level. Logging is more development tool than OS. I would prefer something like "Application Tools" or "Application Units". Wherever they are, I never knew where - the only logical layout I can remember was in Python Cookbook. -- anatoly t.
