This is an "interesting" way of writing bindings. Most people would 
provide an interface in terms of either a library of functions or a 
class or two. I don't recall ever seeing a module or package that did 
what you say you want to do.

Consider that your module should NOT be tied to command-line arguments. 
Abstract out what are the essential inputs to whatever a "FEM 
application" is. Then the caller of your module can parse those inputs 
off the command line using e.g. optparse and/or can collect them via a 
GUI and/or hard code them in a test module and/or read them from a test 
data file or database.

If you can't see them in the documentation, they aren't there. If they 
aren't there, that's probably for a good reason -- no demand, no use case.
