If you're doing things with positional arguments, you should consider using
argparse (http://argparse.googlecode.com/svn/tags/r101/doc/index.html). It's
like optparse, but (much) better.

Hello,
I have been trying to find an example of how to deal with options that have
spaces in them. I am using jython, which is the same I think as python 2.2.3.
I feebly tried to use optparse and argparse with no success (got gettext,

If you can access the argument list manually, you could scan it for a negative
integer, and then insert a '--' argument before that, if needed, before passing
it to getopt/optparse. Then you wouldn't have to worry about it on the command
