I second this. "if '-h' in sys.argv:" is usually what I do.
Alternatively, you could use "--arg=" syntax and place your string
"-4^2+5.3*abs(-2-1)/2" its right-hand side":
infix2postfix [options] "--infix=-4^2+5.3*abs(-2-1)/2"
This shouldn't be too hard for a user to work with. You could scan the
argument list for the presence of "--infix=" and display the help
message if it isn't there.
