Phillip M. Feldman <pfeld...@verizon.net> added the comment: The current behavior of optparse is contrary to how most of Python works. optparse should throw a named exception that can be trapped and identified by the calling program. Doing a SystemExit is unacceptable. I can't believe that this is such a hard thing to fix.
