The standard library includes three argument parsing libraries:
* :mod:`getopt`: a module that closely mirrors the procedural C ``getopt`` API.
Included in the standard library since before the initial Python 1.0 release.
* :mod:`!optparse`: a declarative replacement for ``getopt`` that
provides equivalent functionality without requiring each application
to implement its own procedural option parsing logic. Included
in the standard library since the Python 2.3 release.

* :mod:`argparse`: a more opinionated alternative to ``optparse`` that
provides more functionality by default, at the expense of reduced application
flexibility in controlling exactly how arguments are processed. Included in
the standard library since the Python 2.7 and Python 3.2 releases.

In the absence of more specific argument parsing design constraints, :mod:`argparse`
is the recommended choice for implementing command line applications, as it offers
