Python argparse example
#! /usr/bin/env python
"""
I've always been a fan of using the getopt module but am sometimes encouraged by folks to use argparse. It does seem to have
some advantages but it's always been a little cryptic to me too. So I came up with a sample for some common options/arguments
I often what to deal with and put in my own tools. It's still a little unnatural to me but it works.
With regard to mutually exclusive options, argparse gives you a way to do it but it does not allow the options to appear on the
same command line - an error is thrown when this happens. When I implement mutually exclusive options with getopt, I typically
only accept the last option and behave as though the other options were not specified at all. I would kind of prefer that behavior
