I personally liked the idea of getoptex() best, except I would call it getopt_or_die(). If the usage message is omitted it can synthesize one from the (short and long) options arguments and sys.argv[0] (the latter being a bit controversial, but it's just a default).
Hmm... Perhaps getopt_or_die() shouldn't take the args argument but extract sys.argv[1:] itself?
sounds reasonable. what are you waiting for ;-) </F>
