Yes, I just realized the optparse was pre-existing as Optik - I didn't know
it, I am quite new to Python! :)

Well, I believe in the end I'll just do without the default value for the -t
option, it's not important enough to justify users having to upgrade Python
or download a module. Anyway, optparse is a great addition to 2.3, I can see
lots of good reasons for having it inside.

Thank you.
