+* parse the arguments and flags from sys.argv

+* and much more... 

 

 The argparse module improves on the standard library optparse module

 in a number of ways including:

- * handling positional arguments

- * supporting sub-commands

- * allowing alternative option prefixes like + and /

- * handling zero-or-more and one-or-more style arguments

- * producing more informative usage messages

- * providing a much simpler interface for custom types and actions
