I found the example incomprehensible, so I looked it up in perldoc. Anyhow, Python doesn't have it. Combining printing various verboseness of usage messages with setting exit codes with calling the exit function seems a little bizarre. But I believe optparse will handle parsing arguments and printing usage messages, though not, I think, setting verbosity levels and exiting the program. -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
