Any idea why the 'options' object in # optparse stuff (options, args) = parser.parse_args()
is not/couldn't be a real dict ? Or why at least it does not support dict's usual methods ? The next move after a parse_args is often to call a method 'do_stuff' with the args and options and I'd like to use a call such as: do_stuff(args, **options) This function signature is handy if you also need sometimes to call 'do_stuff' from the Python interpreter.
