After releasing the GetPot 1.0 Version I did some research on other packages and I found the the Option Parsing RFC.

What's the Option Parsing RFC?

I totally missed the discussion. How come that nobody contacted me about the GetPot package ?

Because we didn't know you existed?

To get a python doc out should not be a problem at all. Not one single person, though, complained until now, since the C++ doc is totally equivalent.

Take a look at http://getpot.sourceforge.net for new features of the 1.0 Version. Except for the automated documenting feature (which may be a little intrusive in its format) I don't really see what Optik brings new on the table. Guys, even though GetPot is designed for many languages, I'd like to join the command line parsing discussion.

Too late. We've settled on Optik (under a different name).
