Hello list,
I tried the optparse example from the python library reference and it
doesn't seem to work..what am I doing wrong?
I keep getting the "incorrect number of arguments" message although i
use the correct number..

The example is here :
http://docs.python.org/lib/optparse-putting-it-all-together.html

if i edit the code and write:
print parser.parse_args()

I get:
(<Values at 0xb7d3b9ec: {'verbose': False, 'filename': None}>, [])

as you can see the argument list is empty
I run the program as ./parser.py -q
(i also tried 'python parser.py -q' but didnt help)

Thank you in advance
