|Hey all,
|
|    I picked up my first python book 5 days ago, so dont laugh at me too
|hard.   I have looked in man
|page, Learning Python by O &A, and python.org, as well as here, and
|found nothing __substantial__
|on the use of getopts.    Here is a code snipet of a program I have
|written... The programs works
|fine, and I really like the language, but this seems like a somewhat
|ineffecient way of handling
|options.

I always check:
/usr/local/src/lang/Python-1.5.2/Demo

the 'scripts' directory has some examples of getopt which I assume to be the
most 'correct'.

good luck,
