Hello, Is there support/idioms/suggestions for using optparse without a command line?
I have a code which used to be called through subprocess. The whole flow of the code is based on what 'options' object from optparse contains. Now I want to call this code without subprocessing. What I did first was to build a "fake" command-line and use options, args = parser.parse_args(fake_cmdline) But I find it dumb to encode and decode a dictionary... So I would like to know how I if there is a good way of passing a dictionary to optparse and benefiting from its option management (check, error detection, etc). Thanks a lot!
