Re: optparse/argparse for cgi/wsgi?
Many people have. :-) In the context of WSGI you're basically talking about routing middleware, which solves the problem: given a request, which application should be called to construct a response? In my case, it turned out as simple as a list of (regex, resource) tuples, where regex is a regular expression that looks at the request URI and resource is an object that may or may not implement GET, POST, PUT, DELETE methods. In the regex I can capture any arguments that the resource needs. If the request method is GET and the method GET exists on the matched resource, it is called, else a 'Method Not Allowed' response code is returned.

Re: optparse/argparse for cgi/wsgi?
To aid your googling, the problem is also commonly called 'Dispatching' instead of 'Routing'.
