=========================
Announcing argparse 1.0.1
=========================
The argparse module provides an easy, declarative interface for
creating command line tools, which knows how to:
 * parse the arguments and flags from sys.argv
 * convert arg strings into objects for your program
 * format and print informative help messages
 * and much more...

The argparse module improves on the standard library optparse module
in a number of ways including:
 * handling positional arguments
 * supporting sub-commands
 * allowing alternative option prefixes like + and /
 * handling zero-or-more and one-or-more style arguments
 * producing more informative usage messages
 * providing a much simpler interface for custom types and actions
