"""Parser for command line options.

This module helps scripts to parse the command line arguments in

sys.argv. It supports the same conventions as the Unix getopt()

function (including the special meanings of arguments of the form `-'

and `--'). Long options similar to those supported by GNU software

may be used as well via an optional third argument. This module

provides two functions and an exception:

getopt() -- Parse command line options

gnu_getopt() -- Like getopt(), but allow option and non-option arguments

to be intermixed.

GetoptError -- exception (class) raised with 'opt' attribute, which is the

option involved with the exception.

"""

# Long option support added by Lars Wirzenius <liw@iki.fi>.

#

# Gerrit Holl <gerrit@nl.linux.org> moved the string-based exceptions

# to class-based exceptions.

#

# Peter Åstrand <astrand@lysator.liu.se> added gnu_getopt().

#

# TODO for gnu_getopt():

#

# - GNU getopt_long_only mechanism

# - allow the caller to specify ordering

# - RETURN_IN_ORDER option

# - GNU extension with '-' as first character of option string

# - optional arguments, specified by double colons

# - a option string with a W followed by semicolon should

# treat "-W foo" as "--foo"

Parses command line options and parameter list. args is the

argument list to be parsed, without the leading reference to the

running program. Typically, this means "sys.argv[1:]". shortopts

is the string of option letters that the script wants to

recognize, with options that require an argument followed by a

colon (i.e., the same format that Unix getopt() uses). If

specified, longopts is a list of strings with the names of the

long options which should be supported. The leading '--'

characters should not be included in the option name. Options

which require an argument should be followed by an equal sign

('=').

The return value consists of two elements: the first is a list of

(option, value) pairs; the second is the list of program arguments

left after the option list was stripped (this is a trailing slice

of the first argument). Each option-and-value pair returned has

the option as its first element, prefixed with a hyphen (e.g.,

'-x'), and the option argument as its second element, or an empty

string if the option has no argument. The options occur in the

list in the same order in which they were found, thus allowing

multiple occurrences. Long and short options may be mixed.
