What's the best way to grab/parse command line arguments passed to a Python script?

As other people pointed out, you are better off going with optparse over getopt. Getopt is pretty much a one-to-one mapping of the standard getopt(3) C library functions, and not very easy to use.

The new hip way is argparse for these reasons. Argparse > optparse > getopt.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
