I have.
In the interactive version of the code, I use:
#
# Parse command line options and automatically build help/usage
#
parser = OptionParser()
parser.add_option("-q", "--quiet",
action="store_false", dest="verbose", default=1,
help="don't print status messages to stdout")
parser.add_option("-m", dest="qmanager",
help="Queue Manager to inquire against")
parser.add_option("-s", dest="host",
help="Host the que manager resides on")
parser.add_option("-p", dest="port",
help="Port queue manager listens on"),
parser.add_option("-o", dest="object",
help="Queue object being inquired on"),
parser.add_option("-k", dest="key",
help="object attribute to be inquired about"),
parser.add_option("-t", type="string",dest="mto",
help="e-mail address the report will go to"),
parser.add_option("-d", action="store_false",dest="report",
help="optional switch - enabling this sends output
to e-mail")
(options, args) = parser.parse_args()
The module optparse seemed to be aimed at reading from commandline
versus pulling attributes from a read line.
