Try downloading getargspy.zip from
http://www.pauahtun.org/ftp.html
(near the bottom of the page). Read the docstrings in the supplied
module, which gives you not only instructions on how to use getargs.py
but a (brief) introduction to command-line parsing. I'm trying to put
together an HTML page for just getargs, which will be clearer (and more
tutorial-like) than the present docstrings. Give it a try.
<shameless-self-promotion>-ly y'rs,
