Is there a standard way with optparse to include a blurb of text after the usage section, description, and the list of options? This is often useful to include examples or closing comments when the help message is printed out. Many of the GNU commands do this.
It would look something like this: % program --help usage: program [options] This is my description text. options: -f BAR, --foo=BAR A sample option --version show program's version number and exit --help show this help message and exit ==> Now how about closing text after the options list? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
