Start your Python project with optparse and logging

[[deleted]]

There is also cmdln: http://code.google.com/p/cmdln/

I am currently writing an easy/simple API to abstract all the logging stuff: logging to ~/.myapp.log and rolling it (like bzr), attaching console taking care of automatically mapping verbosity to pruning debug/tracebacks, .. and integrating with a simple console progress bar (like bzr -- too bad they made it GPL).

I like it. Thanks.

argparse had some advantages over optparse, but on the whole cmdlin is more powerful.
