Proceed with e.g.: #v+ for (opt, arg) in opts: if opt in ('-n', '--No'): do_no() elif opt in ('-t', '--Time'): do_time() # [...] else: barf(opt, arg) # end if # end for #v- But be consistent when using long options: use all lowercase, use either dashes or underscores (not both), don't use whitespace. I usually do something like: #v+ Options = { 'i:': 'input=', 'o:': 'output=', 'c' : 'copyright', 'h' : 'help', 'v' : 'version', } shortOpts = ''.join(Options.keys()) longOpts = Options.values() # [...] try: (opts, args) = getopt.getopt(argv[1:], shortOpts, longOpts) except getopt.error, msg: die(msg) # end try # [...] for (opt, arg) in opts: # Handle all options : # end for #v- Additional, non-option, arguments will be in the "args" variable.
