It parses options. That is it takes a command string and works out what the various bits mean, in particular the command line options or "switches". For example you can call python like this: $ python -i foo.py And the -i is an option that tells python not to exity the intrerpreter after running foo.py. optparse can be usd to validate and select options in your programs. The documentation includes background info and an extensive tutorial (this must be one of the best documented modules in the library) , did you read through it before posting? If so what did you not understand? HTH, Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
