No - I was not aware of that. Thanks. It looks pretty close to what I
have done although it doesn't go quite as far eg. printing of man &
docbook pages and output of code to process the options. Also I guess
many of us are still at python 1.5 and not 2.3!

Because of these limitiations I might stick with what I've got
although the case for publishing and public maintainance is somewhat
reduced.

I will try to track down and join the getoption SIG that is mentioned
there.

Cheers
