Since docopt is not a standard part of Python, nor part of the language

dedicated docopt mailing list, if any, or try contacting the developer.
Fair enough.
I would submit however that it does seem to be an ideal solution to the
challenge of command line parsing.
I haven't actually used docopt, but I'm willing to try to help...
Much appreciated.
"""Usage: test [new_data | text_entry FILE | show_data ] [-hdv]
[--db=DATABASE] [--tb=TABLE]
-h --help show this
-d --debug show debugging statements
-v --verbose shows table when not absolutely necessary.
--db DATABASE specify database file to use [default: ./uwomeds68.db]
--tb TABLE specify table to use [default: matesTb]
The defaults for --db and --tb aren't valid Python objects. Perhaps you
need to specify them as strings?
The docopt module converts these into strings if/when they appear in the
command line arguments.
According to the documentation these items are not quoted (which is what
I assume you are suggesting.) I did try to quote them but it made no
difference.
Thanks for taking an interest.
You are correct that only someone who has used it would likely be in a
position to offer advice.
I would never have heard about it if it wasn't for this list.
