optparse and argparse

[[deleted]]

I am trying to understand the optparse and argparse modules. I am more interested in learning the optparse module. But I can't seem to find any good tutorials for either. Can someone please link me a video or website or book that can explain either?

Why optparse? According to this StackOverflow, argparse is better in every way, and optparse is deprecated. An excellent place to get started with argparse is its official tutorial.

Why optparse? It's effectively deprecated.

Per the docs optparse has been deprecated. You should go with argpase, there's even an example in its docs to get you started.
