I have found two bugs in optaparse module 
documentation. There is example code on 
http://docs.python.org/lib/optparse-callback-example-6.html, 
but it doesn't work.

First bug is that callback function is 
named 'vararg_callback', but in parser.add_option 
is 'callback=varargs' (so to fix it, that callback 
function must be renamed).

Second bug is that there is 
missing 'dest="some_destination"' argument in 
parser.add_option. Without it whole example doesn't 
work (it is throwing 'TypeError: attribute name must 
be string' exception).
