python optparse multiple arguments

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Hi,

I'm having some minor problems with optparse. I'm just worried that
someone shouldn't say that multiple argument feature isn't implemented
in optpartse.

How to tackle multiple arguments to an option ?
As far as I dug, I've found that >1 arguments are being ignored.

parser.add_option("", "--my-option", dest="my_option", action="store",
type="string")

Now if someone uses it as:
./foo --my-option a b c

I want somehow to store all the three arguments but my_option stores
only "a" while ignoring b and c.

Any help?

I fixed it, I guess.

parser.add_option("", "--my-option", dest="my_option",

action="store_true")

sets my_option to True and the arguments are all stored in the list
"args". :-)
