A while ago, Greg Ward proposed to add his all-singing-all-dancing option parse, Optik, to the standard library. He's just released version 1.3 and thinks it's ready. According to Greg, the getopt-sig likes Optik.

This seems just the kind of thing to add to 2.3 without causing complaints about the rate of language change from the user base.

+1. This will boost development of command line parsing algorithms. I'm missing something like this for a long time.

Btw, is there any intention of including python-bz2? If so, it should be checked out in those platforms I have no access to.
