Hello,

I'm trying to figure out if the following is a bug or if I'm using the
remove_option in the wrong way.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import optparse
parser = optparse.OptionParser()
parser.add_option("--test", help="This is a test option")
parser.remove_option('--test')
print parser.parse_args()

this will output:
(<Values at 0x6beb8: {'test': None}>, [])

If you execute the --help on the file above you will not see --test as
expected. I'm curious as to why parse_args is still returning this as
an option.

I'm guessing here - but it is *one* thing to disable an option for the user because of whatever condition, and another to remove the options default value that code could possibly rely on to work. So I'd say the behavior is sane.
