getopt and Non-Unixes?

[Darrell]

From: "Darrell" <news at dorb.com>

You end up using -v -d -f or -vdf this last one will throw Dos people for a
loop.
I supply the help message if the command line isn't understood.

def runIt():
 try:
  opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "l:hdpf:o:")
 except getopt.error, msg:
  sys.stderr.write("Error: %s\n" % str(msg))
  print help_str
  sys.exit(1)
