I see no advantage to swelling optparse when the language offers many
solutions already. E.g.
desc = {
'verbose': 'Output less information',
'castordir': 'specify the wanted CASTOR directory where to store '
'the results tarball',
'previousrel': 'Top level dir of previous release for regression '
'analysis'}
parser.add_option('-q', '--quiet', action="store_false",
dest='verbose', help = desc['verbose'])
...
Or another approach might be like this.
for ... in zip(...):
parser.add_option(...)
