Hi all,
I tried with the example Peter gave me, and it works. But only when the
options are boolean. At least, that is my conclusion with experimenting.
I'll elaborate:
The code to create 'mutually exclusive options':
option_names = [ "l", "o" , "s" ]
toggled_options = [name for name in option

I mean "-d" since that's what Unix commands expect for flags.

I had no idea people were going to get so upset that I used a Windows
example and go off on a tear.
Nobody is upset, and nobody has "gone off on a tear". The point about
the "Windows example" is that the docs say in a close-to-screamingly-
obvious manner that /options are not supported, no ma

Up until today, I never needed to pass any arguments to a Python
program.

If you mean with "/" as the option designator instead of "-": there
doesn't appear to be a documented way of doing it. You would have to
do some social engineering on the users to get them used to doing "dir
-s -b". In any case I thought the number of Windows users who know how
