Because there could be other users who ran python command lines with or without the -i option. As described, there's no way for this user to know which python invocation is his/hers, and which are of other users. There might be a way, though, if we can get this user's python instance's process id and then grep for a line containing that id (in the appropriate column) in the ps output.

I realize this is quite a hack, but the entire command line is preserved in the process's entry in the OS's process table. if you do "ps -ax" you will see that the interpreter was invoked with -i. I didn't test this under windows, but it works on Mac and Linux. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The OP wants to inspect the options passed to the interpreter, not the options passed to the script. optparse aids in parsing sys.argv, which only contains the options that are passed to the script. -Carsten -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
