Comment(by was):
The first thing I find is that this code is really bad
{{{
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
import argparse
except:
alternative_cmdline_handler()
}}}
I'm sitting here forever trying to figure out how to use the code based on
reading the parser stuff (since there's no guide or other documentation
about what to do and the "make "), and finally I discover a naked
try/except and that there is an alternative parser, which has completely
different behavior. Confusing. In fact, argparse isn't even in sage-4.8
yet (it should be in 5.0).
