But ``vars()`` is the standard Python mechanism for doing this sort of thing (that is, treating an object like a dictionary). So, while I understand that you find "iterating over opts to be nicer", calling it more Pythonic is probably a misuse of the term. ;-) Anyway, I should point out that optparse is maintained separately from the standard library, and any modifications to it usually need to go through the tracker at http://optik.sourceforge.net/ first.
