Yes, ‘optparse’ has been superseded by the more capable ‘argparse’ library <URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html>. Migrating from ‘optparse’ to ‘argparse’ is quite straightforward, since the latter was designed to be very similar. > > Is this an acceptable way of working? > > You should also use the currently fashionable unit testing library.

It's also in the standard library, unlike proposed replacements. -- \ “Instead of having ‘answers’ on a math test, they should just | `\ call them ‘impressions’, and if you got a different | _o__) ‘impression’, so what, can't we all be brothers?” —Jack Handey | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
