Maybe. I haven't been following this entire thread, but I don't see much point in making it easy to go from getopt to argparse.
I'm with you on this; specific getopt uses are more likely to be switched to opt/argparse than to shift gradually via hybrid APIs.
The two are so different that I think you're either going to jump all in or not. Maybe that's just me though as I really don't see much use for getopt any more (even for throwaway scripts).
Heh. I never liked getopt anyway. :-) -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at gmail.com> "Chaos is the score upon which reality is written." --Henry Miller
