How are you running that? All that <string> stuff is not very
informative. I put your source into a pastebin.py:
>>> import pastebin
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "pastebin.py", line 31
elif o is not "":
^
IndentationError: expected an indented block
Dunno how you managed line 39.
What you have there is:
for o, a in optlist:
if o == "-h":
#usage()
elif o is not "":
which is equivalent to:
for o, a in optlist:
if o == "-h":
elif o is not "":
which is not such a good idea.
BTW, why aren't you using optparse?
HTH,
John
