Why you don't use argparse for parsing arguments?

Why you don't use argparse for parsing arguments? It's far more easier to use, code and works as standards. Example below

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("-a", "--addAlarm",    action='store_true', required=False, help="Adds given alarm")
parser.add_argument("-d", "--deleteAlarm", action='store_true', required=False, help="Removes alarm")
parser.add_argument("-c", "--checkAlarms", action='store_true', required=False, help="Check all alarms")
parser.add_argument("-p", "--printAlarms", action='store_true', required=False, help="Print all alarms")
parser.add_argument("-n", "--stockCode", type=str, required=False, help="")
parser.add_argument("-r", "--referencePrice", type=float, required=False, help="")
parser.add_argument("-t", "--type", type=str, required=False, help="")
parser.add_argument("-v", "--value", type=float, required=False, help="")
parser.add_argument("-W", "--lastWeek", action='store_true', required=False, help="Last Week")
args = parser.parse_args()

#Assert
if (not args.addAlarm and not args.checkAlarms and not args.deleteAlarm and not args.printAlarms):
    print "Missing event"
    sys.exit(1)

if (args.addAlarm):
    if (not args.stockCode or not args.referencePrice or not args.type or not args.value):
        print "Missing arguments for adding."
        sys.exit(1)

if (args.deleteAlarm):
    if (not args.stockCode or not args.referencePrice or not args.type or not args.value):
        print "Missing arguments for removal."
        sys.exit(1)`

Having worked with argparse in the last few months, I agree. Might sit down to code it.
