Obviously if one of the getopt supporters has a better way of doing this then please speak up.
I'm not a getopt supporter per se - I'm +1 for argparse - but Opster provides some nice syntax sugar on top of getopt, and can be seen here:

I've contacted Steven about a similar approach for argparse, and we're waiting for Yuvgoog's work on argparse(func) to be done to see if there's a feasible similar approach.
I am reluctant to jump on these argument parsing decorators until they have existed outside the standard library for a while and have settled down as I suspect some people want to use annotations to do type conversion/checking, others don't, etc. -Brett
