+=== The C-style way: getopt ===
+Use [[https://docs.python.org/3/library/getopt.html|getopt]] (//C-style parser for command line options//)
+=== The deprecated Python way: optparse ===
+[[https://docs.python.org/3/library/optparse.html|optparse]] (//parser for command line options//) is **deprecated since Python version 3.2**! You should now use argparse (check [[https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#upgrading-optparse-code|Upgrading optparse code]] for converting from ''optparse'' to ''argparse'')
+=== The current Python way: argparse ===
+[[https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html|argparse]] (//parser for command-line options, arguments and sub-commands//) is available since Python version 3.2
