python and getopt and spaces in option

[David Shapiro]

Hello,

I have been trying to find an example of how to deal with options that have spaces in them.  I am using jython, which is the same I think as python 2.2.3.   I feebly tried to use optparse and argparse with no success (got gettext, locale, and optparse).   The code is as follows:

    try:
        (opts, args) = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "hs:p:n:j:d:l:u:c:t:w:q:v",
["help", "server=", "port=", "dsName=","jndiName=","driverName=","driverURL=","user=","passWD=","targetServer=","whereProp=","testTableName=","version"])
    except getopt.GetoptError:
        usage()

    for opt in opts:
        (key, value) = opt
        if (key in ("-v", "--version")):
                print "Version: " + version
                sys.exit(1)
        if (key in ("-h", "--help")):
                usage()
        if (key in ("-s", "--server")):
                server = value
        if (key in ("-p", "--port")):
                port = value
        if (key in ("-n", "--dsName")):
                dsName = value
        if (key in ("-j", "--jndiName")):
                jndiName = value
        if (key in ("-d", "--driverName")):
                driverName = value
        if (key in ("-l", "--driverURL")):
                driverURL = value
        if (key in ("-u", "--user")):
                user = value
        if (key in ("-c", "--passWD")):
                passWD = value
        if (key in ("-t", "--targetServer")):
                targetServer = value
        if (key in ("-q", "--testTableName")):
                testTableName = value
        if (key in ("-w", "--whereProp")):
                whereProp = value


print "server: " + server
print "port: " + port
print "dsName: " + dsName
print "jndiName: " + jndiName
print "driverName: " + driverName
print "driverURL: " + driverURL
print "user: " + user
print "passWD: " + passWD
print "testtable: " + testTableName
print "targetServer: " + targetServer
print "whereProp: " + whereProp

The one that gives me trouble is with the -q option, because it can look like: -q "SQL 1 TABLE".  It returns back just SQL.  How do I get it to return the whole thing that is in double quotes?
