Summary: optparse should support arbitrary number of arguments
Initial Comment:
Currently, the number of arguments an option
can/should have, needs be defined.
This is done using "nagrs".
parser.add_option("", "--my-option", nargs=3)
The problem is that at times it isn't predictable how
many arguments you'll be receiving.
I request the implementation of this feature in
optparse, where the following could be possible.
parser.add_option("", "--my-option", nargs=*)
Thanks,
Ritesh

I don't know of any program that uses command line switches
with a variable number of args, partly because you then
cannot distinguish between option arguments and normal
arguments.
I you still need this, you can implement a custom callback,
I think.
