Over on Guido's blog there was a post about command line parsing. Everyone needs it once in a while and it's useful for most programs. I was shocked and amazed to see so many people repeating the option names in the getopt setup code and then in the logic to decode the arguements. Someone mentioned Optik in the ensuing discussion and I think that this definately looks the way to go.
