<p><strong><a href="http://github.com/simonw/optfunc">optfunc</a></strong></p> Command line parsing libraries in Python such as optparse frustrate me because I can never remember how to use them without consulting the manual. optfunc is a new experimental interface to optparse which works by introspecting a function definition (including its arguments and their default values) and using that to construct a command line argument parser.
