Projects that use Optik either ship with it included or require it to be installed separately. I believe Greg Ward plans to maintain an independent distribution, using the old name, for the benefit of such projects and for users of Python 2.0 through 2.2.

Of course, it would be easier for prospective users if Greg's distribution used the same name as we adopt for 2.3. :-)

Of all the names suggested so far, I like optlib and argvparse equally well. Can we do a tally of votes for those, to decide?
