[Tutor] pythonic

Hello all,

I have written the following program. It generates a template for Pelican
web site static generator. It works just fine, it generates the template
and then I put the info in it to customize. But I was wondering, is this
the "right" way to do it in python?

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Generate a Pelican markdown base page."""

import argparse
import datetime


def Main():
    """Run if run as a program."""
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument("-T", "--title", type=str, required=True,
                        help='Title for site, also generates the slug',
                        metavar="")
    parser.add_argument("-c", "--category", required=True,
                        help='Category or categories of post', metavar="")
    parser.add_argument("-t", "--tags", type=str, required=True,
                        help="Tags for post", metavar="")
    parser.add_argument("-a", "--author", type=str, default="Pat Martin",
                        help="Author of post", metavar="")
    args = parser.parse_args()

    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    slug = args.title.replace(" ", "-").lower()

    with open("{}.md".format(slug), 'w') as f:
        f.write("Title: {}\n".format(args.title))
        f.write("Date: {}-{}-{} {}:{}\n".format(now.year,
                                                now.month,
                                                now.day,
                                                now.hour,
                                                now.minute))
        f.write("Modified: {}-{}-{} {}:{}\n".format(now.year,
                                                    now.month,
                                                    now.day,
                                                    now.hour,
                                                    now.minute))
        f.write("Category: {}\n".format(args.category))
        f.write("Slug: {}\n".format(slug))
        f.write("Authors: {}\n".format(args.author))
        f.write("Summary: \n")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    Main()



Thanks for any input.
