Sorry for the delay, but I've finally updated PEP 389, the argparse PEP, based on all the feedback from python-dev. The full PEP is below, but in short, the important changes are:
* The getopt module will not be deprecated. * In Python 2, the -3 flag will cause deprecation warnings to be issued for optparse. * No casually visible deprecation warnings for optparse are expected until Jun 2013. * Support for {}-format strings will be added when one of the converters is approved. This can be done at any point though, so it shouldn't hold up inclusion of argparse.
The new version provides a very good summary of and response to the feedback on the previous version of the PEP.
+1 on adding the module :)
Cheers, Nick.
