Python Asynchronous I/O library (pyasynchio) [currently win-only]

You may want to use Doxygen, which generates nice diagrams. It's normally only for C++, but there are nice filters (for ex. http://i31www.ira.uka.de/~baas/pydoxy) that generates C++ header from python code that Doxygen can crunch. Another solution is to use IDE such as Eric3 that can generate UML

You can approximate it by doing this at the command prompt: # mkdir /z #mount //blah/data /z I assume 'blah' is the hostname for a Windows machine and 'data' is the name of a share on blah. You might need to install smbfs and/or use 'mount.smb' and/or use 'mount -t smbfs'. Of course this can all b

You also could opt for the OptionParser in optparse, it is quiet powerful, and you can keep your code clean. Your requirements would translate to something like: py>#!/usr/bin/env python py>"""show OptionParser py>""" py>from optparse import OptionParser py> py>def main(): py>parser = OptionPar
