python getopt functionality
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? thanks moe smadi -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: python getopt functionality
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? thanks moe smadi Fredrik Lundh wrote: M.N.A.Smadi wrote: I have a perl script that I need to port to python.
