| """Parser for command line options. | |
| This module helps scripts to parse the command line arguments in | |
| sys.argv. It supports the same conventions as the Unix getopt() | |
| function (including the special meanings of arguments of the form `-' | |
| and `--'). Long options similar to those supported by GNU software | |
| may be used as well via an optional third argument. This module | |
| provides two functions and an exception: | |
| getopt() -- Parse command line options | |
| gnu_getopt() -- Like getopt(), but allow option and non-option arguments | |
| to be intermixed. | |
| GetoptError -- exception (class) raised with 'opt' attribute, which is the | |
| option involved with the exception. | |
| """ | |
| # Long option support added by Lars Wirzenius <liw@iki.fi>. | |
| # | |
| # Gerrit Holl <gerrit@nl.linux.org> moved the string-based exceptions | |
| # to class-based exceptions. | |
| # | |
| # Peter Astrand <astrand@lysator.liu.se> added gnu_getopt(). | |
| # | |
| # TODO for gnu_getopt(): | |
| # | |
| # - GNU getopt_long_only mechanism | |
| # - allow the caller to specify ordering | |
| # - RETURN_IN_ORDER option | |
| # - GNU extension with '-' as first character of option string | |
| # - optional arguments, specified by double colons | |
| # - a option string with a W followed by semicolon should | |
| # treat "-W foo" as "--foo" | |

| running program. Typically, this means "sys.argv[1:]". shortopts | |
| is the string of option letters that the script wants to | |
| recognize, with options that require an argument followed by a | |
| colon (i.e., the same format that Unix getopt() uses). If | |
| specified, longopts is a list of strings with the names of the | |
| long options which should be supported. The leading '--' | |
| characters should not be included in the option name. Options | |
| which require an argument should be followed by an equal sign | |
| ('='). | |
| The return value consists of two elements: the first is a list of | |
| (option, value) pairs; the second is the list of program arguments | |
| left after the option list was stripped (this is a trailing slice | |
| of the first argument). Each option-and-value pair returned has | |
| the option as its first element, prefixed with a hyphen (e.g., | |
| '-x'), and the option argument as its second element, or an empty | |
| string if the option has no argument. The options occur in the | |
| list in the same order in which they were found, thus allowing | |
| multiple occurrences. Long and short options may be mixed. | |
