About this release
==================

Extensive updates to the API documentation make this the most
thoroughly documented release yet:

New in this release
===================
* The 'outfile' type.
* API documentation.
About argparse
==============
The argparse module is an optparse-inspired command line parser that
improves on optparse by:
* handling both optional and positional arguments
* supporting parsers that dispatch to sub-parsers
* producing more informative usage messages
* supporting actions that consume any number of command-line args
* allowing types and actions to be specified with simple callables
instead of hacking class attributes like STORE_ACTIONS or
CHECK_METHODS
as well as including a number of other more minor improvements on the
optparse API. To whet your appetite, here's a simple program that sums
its command-line arguments and writes them to a file::
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('integers', type=int, nargs='+')
parser.add_argument('--log', type='outfile', default=sys.stdout)
args = parser.parse_args()
args.log.write('%s\n' % sum(args.integers))
args.log.close()
