58</H3>

60<P>
61Sometimes, it's useful to poke around your option parser and see what's
62there. OptionParser provides a couple of methods to help you out:
63<DL>
64<DT><STRONG><code>has_option(opt_str)</code></STRONG></DT>
65<DD>Return true if the OptionParser has an option with
66option string <code>opt_str</code> (e.g., <code>"-q"</code> or <code>"-verbose"</code>).
67</DD>
68<DT><STRONG><code>get_option(opt_str)</code></STRONG></DT>
69<DD>Returns the Option instance with the option string <code>opt_str</code>, or
70<code>None</code> if no options have that option string.
71</DD>
72<DT><STRONG><code>remove_option(opt_str)</code></STRONG></DT>
73<DD>If the OptionParser has an option corresponding to <code>opt_str</code>,
74that option is removed. If that option provided any other
75option strings, all of those option strings become invalid.
76If <code>opt_str</code> does not occur in any option belonging to this
77OptionParser, raises ValueError.
