Hmmm. A couple things are a little odd about this. First "Other
methods" seems to be a grab-bag category. A place to put something
when you don't know where-else to put it. The section called:
"Querying and manipulating your option parser" seems closer. Better I
think if the title were changed slightly to
Querying, manipulating, and changing the default behavior of your
option parse
Second, oddly I can't find this section "Other Methods" in the current
Python SVN source Doc/lib/liboptparse.tex. Best as I can tell, that
file does seem to be the section documenting optparse.
