Done: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0389/#deprecation-of-optparse Thank you, and thanks to all who helped in the discussion of this PEP! My plan is to make a final external release of argparse (1.1) fixing some current issues, and then merge that into the Python repository. I should be able to get this done before Python 2.7 alpha 4 on 2010-03-06. Steve -- Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
