Critics have remarked that those four worthies were truly peerless throughout the ages; yet the present falls short of the past—the ancients favored unadorned simplicity, whereas the moderns prefer refined elegance. Styles of substance and ornament rise and fall in succession, shifting with the changing mores of the times; such evolution is simply the natural order of things. The ideal lies in honoring antiquity without clashing with the present, and embracing modernity without succumbing to its flaws—embodying that perfect balance of substance and refinement that defines the true gentleman. There is surely no need to abandon a carved palace in favor of a cave dwelling, or to trade a jade carriage for a primitive cart with solid wooden wheels.

Class attributes:

Instance attributes:
usage : string
a usage string for your program. Before it is displayed
to the user, "%prog" will be expanded to the name of
your program (self.prog or os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])).
prog : string
the name of the current program (to override
os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])).
description : string
A paragraph of text giving a brief overview of your program.
optparse reformats this paragraph to fit the current terminal
width and prints it when the user requests help (after usage,
but before the list of options).
epilog : string
paragraph of help text to print after option help
option_groups : [OptionGroup]
list of option groups in this parser (option groups are
irrelevant for parsing the command-line, but very useful
for generating help)
allow_interspersed_args : bool = true
if true, positional arguments may be interspersed with options.
Assuming -a and -b each take a single argument, the command-line
-ablah foo bar -bboo baz
will be interpreted the same as
-ablah -bboo -- foo bar baz
If this flag were false, that command line would be interpreted as
-ablah -- foo bar -bboo baz
-- ie. we stop processing options as soon as we see the first
non-option argument. (This is the tradition followed by
Python's getopt module, Perl's Getopt::Std, and other argument-
parsing libraries, but it is generally annoying to users.)
process_default_values : bool = true
if true, option default values are processed similarly to option
values from the command line: that is, they are passed to the
type-checking function for the option's type (as long as the
default value is a string). (This really only matters if you
have defined custom types; see SF bug #955889.) Set it to false
to restore the behaviour of Optik 1.4.1 and earlier.
rargs : [string]
the argument list currently being parsed. Only set when
parse_args() is active, and continually trimmed down as
we consume arguments. Mainly there for the benefit of
callback options.
largs : [string]
the list of leftover arguments that we have skipped while
parsing options. If allow_interspersed_args is false, this
list is always empty.
values : Values
the set of option values currently being accumulated. Only
set when parse_args() is active. Also mainly for callbacks.
Because of the 'rargs', 'largs', and 'values' attributes,
OptionParser is not thread-safe. If, for some perverse reason, you
need to parse command-line arguments simultaneously in different
threads, use different OptionParser instances.
