Hi,

I think the documentation of getopt could be
improved 

The example at the buttom:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-getopt.html

1. Print str(exc)
except getopt.GetoptError, exc:
print str(exc)
usage()

2. In the loop: use elif and else

for o, a in opts:
    if o == "-v":
        verbose = True
    elif o in ("-h", "--help"):
        usage()
        sys.exit()
    else:
        raise AssertionError(
    "Unparsed Paremter: %s %s" %(o, a))

3. I would support --verbose, too
