| 2 | """Parser for command line options. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | This module helps scripts to parse the command line arguments in |
| 5 | sys.argv. It supports the same conventions as the Unix getopt() |
| 6 | function (including the special meanings of arguments of the form `-' |
| 7 | and `--'). Long options similar to those supported by GNU software |
| 8 | may be used as well via an optional third argument. This module |
| 9 | provides two functions and an exception: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | getopt() -- Parse command line options |
| 12 | gnu_getopt() -- Like getopt(), but allow option and non-option arguments |
| 13 | to be intermixed. |
| 14 | GetoptError -- exception (class) raised with 'opt' attribute, which is the |
| 15 | option involved with the exception. |

| 20 | # Gerrit Holl <gerrit@nl.linux.org> moved the string-based exceptions |
| 21 | # to class-based exceptions. |
