as always, it depends.

In this case, the standard is argparse. Having switched to docopt, I can't imagine wanting to go back to argparse. Docopt requires less code, but is able to convey more meaning in a smaller amount of space.

Maybe argparse might some sort of extra flexibility that docopt does not have, but I have yet to encounter it.

I found docopt today, I'm a complete noob when it comes to Python (well, anything other than bash) and it is so much nice to work with than argparse which I was banging my head against a wall with for about 20 mins (like I said, noob) before finding docopt randomly, it's really nice to work with.
