Well I use the getopt module.
so in my foo.py it would be something like.
import getopt
try:
opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "U:u:P:p:H:h:?",
["Username=", "username=", "Password=", "password=", "Help=","help="])
except getopt.GetoptError:
print :nothing specila just an error"
sys.exit(1)
for o, a in opts:
if o in ("-U", "-u", "--Username", "--username"): username = a
if o in ("-P", "-p", "--Password", "--password"): password = a
if o in ("-H", "-h","--Help", "--help","?"): print "foo help"
Hope the example helps.
Jeff
