Hi all --
I would like to propose adding my Optik module to the standard library.
Optik is the all-singing, all-dancing, featureful, extensible,
well-documented option-parsing module that I have always wanted. Now I
have it, and I like it -- so much that I'd like it to just always be
there whenever I fire up Python (2.3 or greater, of course).
Please take a look at http://optik.sourceforge.net/ for the whole story,
including all the documentation and code via CVS.
Note that Optik is currently distributed as a package with three
modules; it's a hair over 1000 lines of text (563 lines of code),
though, so could easily be munged into a single file if that's preferred
for the standard library.
Two good arguments for adding Optik to the standard library:
* David Goodger wants to use it for the standard doc-processing tools
* I'd like to use it in the Distutils (and ditch
distutils.fancy_getopt)
