Detecting -i in a script

[Static Vagabond]

I think getopt will help you achieve what you need.
http://docs.python.org/library/getopt.html

Here's a quick example:

import getopt
import sys

try:
     opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "-i:vo:vhb?")
except getopt.GetoptError, err:
     helpCommand() # defined elsewhere.
     sys.exit()

for o, a in opts:
     if o == "-i":
         inputFile = a
     elif o == "-o":
         outputFile = a
     elif o == "-?" or "-h":
         helpCommand() # defined elsewhere.
     elif o == "-b":
     	blank() # defined elsewhere.
