If the installed python scripts do not understand command-line options then
something is not being done correctly with your install.

Just to give a concrete example, do you get results from (the installed
version) of either of the following commands:

python/x01 -h

or

python python/x01 -h

?

For me, this -h command-line option results in a display of help concerning
all command-line options.  Note, the menu prompting for device should _not_
appear.

Similarly, I get good results from, e.g.,

python/x01 -dev psttfc -o test.ps

or (to return to the original topic)

python/x01 -dev psttfc -o test.ps -portrait

For both these commands, the menu for selecting the device does not appear,
and the command just works with no further interaction since it has everything
it needs from the command-line options.

This is how all the installed examples should work.  For example, after
building the installed examples with the "make" command (of course, this
build is not required for the python examples above), then you should be
able to run

c/x01c -h
c/x01c -dev psttfc -o test.ps
c/x01c -dev psttfc -o test.ps -portrait

etc.  There is something severely wrong with your PLplot install if some/all
of the above does not work properly for you.
