I beg to differ. In http://mail.python.org/pipermail/getopt-sig/2002-May/000204.html Greg wrote: '''I strongly prefer OptionParser, because that's the main class; it's the one that's always used (ie. directly instantiated). There are always instances of Option, OptionValues, and the various exception classes floating around -- but most Optik applications don't have to import those names directly.'''

Too bad. Greg also said he preferred short lowercase module names.
