gnu_getopt
- gnu_getopt(args, shortopts, longopts=[])
getopt(args, options[, long_options]) -> opts, args This function works like getopt(), except that GNU style scanning mode is used by default. This means that option and non-option arguments may be intermixed. The getopt() function stops processing options as soon as a non-option argument is encountered. If the first character of the option string is '+', or if the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, then option processing stops as soon as a non-option argument is encountered.

>>> s = 'a1 -x a2 a3 a4 --long a5 a6' >>> args = s.split() >>> args ['a1', '-x', 'a2', 'a3', 'a4', '--long', 'a5', 'a6'] >>> optlist, args = getopt.gnu_getopt(args, '-x:', ['long=']) >>> optlist [(None, ['a1']), ('-x', 'a2'), (None, ['a3', 'a4']), ('--long', 'a5')] >>> args ['a6']
