Thank you Parsad.
I am using Python 2.7.1+
You are right, looks like optparse is replaced by argparse.
My problem was that I was checking output and not options.output.
cheers,
Mina

I am not sure what version of Python you are using but from 2.7+ optparse is
deprercated. You may want to use that if you can.
I don't really understand what dest and action in the arguments to
parser.add_option mean.
Here is your usage:
parser = OptionParser(usage="blahblahblah")
parser.add_option("-f", "--file", dest="filename")
<Option at 0x8332eb8: -f/--file>
(options, args) = parser.parse_args(['-f filename.csv']) # test in interpreter
options.filename
' filename.csv' # Note the space before filename
print options.filename
filename.csv
See the documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/optparse.html
