In Python, using the argparse (formerly optparse) module is an easy way to create commandline programs that are flexible, and behave like other "big" programs. When using argparse, options can appear in any order, before or after positional arguments. Argparse also automatically produces a "help" screen for explaining (reminding) how a script can be used.
