Subtle bug here:  ("--notfound") is not a tuple, is just a string, so what
you are actually testing is whether opt is a substring of "--not-found".
To actually build a 1-element tuple, you have to put a trailing comma:

    elif opt in ("--notfound", ):

but it would be clearer if you just use:

    elif opt == "--notfound":
