+* 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
