getopt-as-package is definitely out. I'll leave it to Greg what to make of the remaining two alternatives (options or OptionParser).
I strongly prefer OptionParser, because that's the main class; it's the one that's always used (ie. directly instantiated). There are always instances of Option, OptionValues, and the various exception classes floating around -- but most Optik applications don't have to import those names directly. So in spite of David G.'s -1 on OptionParser, that's what I'm going with... Greg -- Greg Ward - Python bigot gward@python.net http://starship.python.net/~gward/
