Still a true mystery.

Found the answer to this myself: "Unlike GNU getopt(), after a non-option 
argument, all further arguments are considered also non-options. This is 
similar to the way non-GNU Unix systems work."

What I want to do is something like:

  python script.py <single command> <some options> <some arguments>

Hm...maybe I should write my own getopt? Maybe someone already did? :-)
