Hog wash! Both are archaic and asinine. Both clog your scripts with
wasted lines and your memory with complex interfaces far worse than
colon clogging junk food can hold a candle to. Give your *script* an
enema, and do *yourself* a favor by harnessing the simplistic elegance
of the "optphart" module instead!


#-- Start Script --#
def optphart(args):
    d = {'args':[]}
    for arg in args:
        if arg.startswith('-'):
            key, value = arg.split('=', 1)
            options = value.split(',')
            if len(options) > 1:
                d[key[1:]] = options
            else:
                d[key[1:]] = [value]
        else:
            d['args'].append(arg)
    return d


if __name__ == '__main__':
    args = [
        'nakedArgumentOne',
        'nakedArgumentTwo',
        '-file=aSingleFile.txt',
        '-files=aFileOne.txt,aFileTwo.txt',
        '-options=Op1,Op2,Op3,Op4',
        '-help=this_is_some_unhelpful_help',
        ]
    opts = optphart(args)
    #print opts.keys()
    for k,v in opts.items():
        print '%s -> %s' %(k, v)
#-- End Script --#
