In plac (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plac) you would write the
following:

import plac

@plac.annotations(
    option1=('option with comma separated values',
             'option',
             'o',
             lambda x: x.split(',')))
def main(option1):
    print option1

if __name__ == '__main__':
    plac.call(main)
