command line option processing broken about sshuttle

https://github.com/docopt/docopt might be a good choice.

Would also consider argparse, if anybody wants to submit a patch :-)

I will take a look. I am more inclined to argparse as it is part of the standard library and using it instead of docopt would avoid the extra dependency.

I am also thinking of using argparse together with configparser so we could set some (or all or none) options in a configuration file. It would make life easier for people who use it as a daemon and would be more straightforward to package (?).

What do you think?

[brianmay]

Yes, I would prefer argparse, I think it will be the more flexible solution in the long run; It probably will be worth the effort. I have had a look at docopt, however think what I have is a mess - possibly because I have never used docopt before.

configparser does sound like a good idea. There use to be config file processing specific to the packaging stuff I removed in 974f9ae - so you might want to look at that too (despite some rather strange quirks). I think the idea was you could configure multiple tunnels and have an init.d script automatically bring them up at system boot.

I have something working with argparse since last weekend but did not have the time this week to make any progress. Still needs testing, bug fixing and some polishing. I will probably leave configparser for another PR.

Thanks for the update.

Think I can close this now #82 merged.
