OK, I was wrong when I expected there wouldn't be much traffic. The design of an option parser alternative does *not* belong on python-dev. Please get this discussion of the list NOW and move it elsewhere. You can come back here when you've agreed on a solution.
I'm about to (try to) create a list on Starship for this: how does getopt-alternatives@python.net sound as a place to discuss this issue? Everyone who has posted on this thread will receive an invitation to join the list. (Assuming I can get Mailman to do my bidding, that is.) Glad I brought the whole thing up though: hopefully something good will emerge!
