The documentation for optparse states it has been deprecated in favor of argparse since 2.7. However, the library documentation for difflib still uses optparse in the example. https://docs.python.org/2/library/difflib.html#a-command-line-interface-to-difflib https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/difflib.html#a-command-line-interface-to-difflib I am willing to update the documentation if there is agreement that it is needed.
