I've been writing an optparse alternative (using getopt) that is at a stage where I'd be interested in people's opinions.
Looks interesting, but is it really that different from optparse?
I do like the fact that you can specify a type with a conversion function. (In optparse, AFAIK, to add a new type you have to write your own subclass of Option that screws with Option.TYPES and Option.TYPE_CHECKER, which I've always thought was kinda nasty.)
But I wonder if it wouldn't be better to extend optparse with the functionality instead of writing an entirely new module...
