Well, first thing I'd do is wipe out your try/except. It's not really
achieving much (you effectively catch an exception to print it to the
console and terminate).
But then what I'm seeing is that you have 'bug ' (with a trailing
space) in your list of long options, so getopt returns '--bug ' as a
long option. Is that a bug? I dunno. Why do you have the trailing
space? In any case, it's pretty easy to see if you change one line of
your code to:
print('Missed option: %r' % opt)
