NewBie - GetOpts

I'm trying to get a filename passed in as an argument -
ie myprog -f myfile
So far, I have imported getopt
optlist=getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:],'f:')
which reads the switch and the argument into a data structure from
which I can't actually access (since I don't even know what kind of
structure - a sequence? a list? a tuple? an array / vector?)(what is a
tuple?)
I'm new to python, and things have been going very well so far.
print optlist gives
([('-f','filename')],[])
I think this has two lists, one empty. Inside what data structure?
Can anyone show me howto access the data? Or point me to the right
place in the tutorial / library reference, or some example code.
Thanks.
