[Python-ideas] Pyopt - an attempt at a pythonic optparse

[Yuvgoog Greenle]

Currently the module handles positional arguments with one decorator and
keyword arguments (with '-' switches) using another decorator. Maybe I
should have linked to this more complete examples page:
http://code.google.com/p/pyopt/wiki/Examples

Steven: Forgive me, I am new to this list and now after checking I'm
guessing you mean "stdlib-sig" is more fitting. So I'll move this discussion
there.

Just to clarify why I feel getopt/optparse aren't as pythonic - to me they
feel clunky in that I need alot of ultra-explicit, extra-long lines to do
some very basic things. The python I'm used to allows me to use
open('filename').read() with reasonable default parameters. Now that I think
of it, actually wrapping optparse might have been an easier implementation
route for some of the functionality...
