[New-bugs-announce] [issue25475] use argparse instead of getopt

[Stéphane Wirtel]

New submission from Stéphane Wirtel:

not sure, but in the documentation, there is a note
"Module argparse: Alternative command line option and argument parsing library."

may be it's time to move from getopt to argparse and mark getopt as deprecated.

We have to modify 45 files, but I can submit a separated patch for each file.

ack "import getopt" -l | wc -l
      45
