The OP should be made aware that:

* plac is a third-party library with (TTBOMK) no prospect of inclusion
  in the standard library

* optparse is in the standard library and has been for many versions

* argparse is a third-party library that is now accepted for inclusion
  in the standard library, intended as a full optparse replacement

Choose accordingly.
