Senthil <orsent...@gmail.com> added the comment: Georg, Ignore this bug. This is Invalid and sorry for the confusion. I was trying with single option with '=' sign.
May be, I have forgotten the Unix standard that '=' symbol goes with '--' options only. If other people also get confused by this, may be the following sentence can be added, otherwise just close this bug as Invalid. " The '=' sign after the argument goes along with '--' options only. This is well indicated by the help message of optparse.
