Here you've imported parser as an alias to the OptionParser class.  You can
only use add_option() on an instance of that class.  Try this:

from optparse import OptionParser

parser = OptionParser()
parser.add_option('-n','--new',dest='new')

However, I think argparse has replaced optparse since Python 2.7 and
higher...
