Hi Eric,
Yes, there's a whole option-parsing system called 'optparse' that handles
option-parsing and the -h documentation generator:
http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-optparse.html
The examples in the documentation there should help you get started.
If you have more questions, though, please feel free to ask. Good luck!
