Well, it's not a real dict because the original API intends it to be
used as object attributes. However, if you need a dict, it's pretty
simple -- use vars() or .__dict__:
py> import optparse
py> p = optparse.OptionParser()
py> p.add_option('-x')
<Option at 0x11a01e8: -x>
py> options, args = p.parse_args(['-x', '0'])
py> options.x
'0'
py> vars(options)
{'x': '0'}
py> options.__dict__
{'x': '0'}
