This looks good to me; fix Misc/python.man as well, then check it in.

Jeremy, please rule: can this go into 2.0beta2?  If so, reassign back to me and I'll check it in.

Comment:
Why does -h print the usage and then continue to function, while -V prints the version and exits? (Should it check that there are no other command line args before exiting???)

Note that you also need to fix Misc/python.man

Comment:
Yes, -h exits too.  usage() calls exit().  Here's an updated patch that includes mods to Misc/python.man
