Yes -- what I'm planning is the first major Optik release after it's
incorporated into Python's stdlib (Optik 1.5?) will include a stub
module -- optlib.py, optparse.py, OptionParser.py, whatever -- that
emulates the module of the same name from Python 2.3. Or something like
that. So developers can say "requires Python 2.3 or Optik 1.5" and just
code this:
from optparse import OptionParser
with no silly "try/except ImportError" hacks.
