The gnu-style getopt parsing is a Python 2.3 feature - not available in 2.2. So we can't enable it at the moment.That's a bind. I'm going to have to cave in and switch to 2.3 at some point, but I'd like to hold out for a while longer. 'create' is the only sub command that really suffers from this, so could we just temporally hack the parsing to call getopt again on the arguments[1:] and append to the list? Not pretty, but... It's worse than that - because getopt bails on the first non-option we have to keep on calling it iteratively. Might as well write your own getopt :-). The way out is to go with 2.3 and use gnu_getopt or do some backport hack for the code for 2.3 to 2.2. In the meantime just document that the format is command [options] [args] Mike
