It's nice to see the newcomer friendly tag being encouraged :thumbsup:

I'm submitting a PR for a doc change (I'd appreciate a review :D).

I've replaced any mention of getopt in the tutorial section with the argparse 
module. Additionally I have added several small examples of usage promoting its 
usability.

Should the section recommend using other dedicated packages for parsing: fire, 
click, docopt? urllib.request does this for the requests package.

[issue37726] Tutorial should not recommend getopt

[Guido van Rossum]

New submission from Guido van Rossum :

I read on python-ideas that the tutorial recommends getopt as the simple 
argument parsing choice, and argparse as advanced. This is silly. We should 
only promote argparse (unless you want to use raw sys.argv[1:]).
