If the plan is to migrate from optparse to argparse, this could be made a bit easier. If it weren't for the fact that some names are different in argparse than optparse, I believe many optparse usages could port with no change.
The new names in argparse fit with the fact that argparse has a different 'rationale' than optparse. What about an optparse compatibility layer to make porting easier?
Although it can't cover the whole optparse API (as explained in the PEP) it could perhaps cover most 'normal' usage?
