Hiral probably meant to write "optparse", which supports GNU-style options in a fairly standard and straightforward way. Which includes that defining a "-o"/"--output-format" option that takes an argument allows you to write one of "-o exe", "-oexe", "--output-format=exe", or "--output-format exe". My recommendation is to use -o, and -oexe will work just fine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
