Optik (optparse) adheres to a "Tao of Option Parsing"

It is not clear to me if i can define `mandatory' options? That sounds 
strange but let say that the command `requires ' a value for -z or --zoo 
(either or should be find but one and only one of them MUST be 
present).  Can i do that with resorting to using if statements?

python getopt functionality

[M.N.A.Smadi]

hi;

I have a perl script that I need to port to python. The script takes 
input from the command line.  Is there a standard way of processing 
command line arguments based on the -flag preceeding the argument?
