"""DPyGetOpt -- Demiurge Python GetOptions Module

 $Id: DPyGetOpt.py 2872 2007-11-25 17:58:05Z fperez $

This module is modeled after perl's Getopt::Long module-- which
is, in turn, modeled after GNU's extended getopt() function.

Upon instantiation, the option specification should be a sequence
(list) of option definitions.

Options that take no arguments should simply contain the name of
the option.  If a ! is post-pended, the option can be negated by
prepending 'no';  ie 'debug!' specifies that -debug and -nodebug
should be accepted.

Mandatory arguments to options are specified using a postpended
'=' + a type specifier.  '=s' specifies a mandatory string
argument, '=i' specifies a mandatory integer argument, and '=f'
specifies a mandatory real number.  In all cases, the '=' can be
substituted with ':' to specify that the argument is optional.

Dashes '-' in option names are allowed.

If an option has the character '@' postpended (after the
argumentation specification), it can appear multiple times within
each argument list that is processed. The results will be stored
in a list.

The option name can actually be a list of names separated by '|'
characters;  ie-- 'foo|bar|baz=f@' specifies that all -foo, -bar,
and -baz options that appear on within the parsed argument list
must have a real number argument and that the accumulated list
of values will be available under the name 'foo'

        valueForOption() can be used to query this dictionary.
        terminator will contain the argument encountered that terminated
        option processing (or None, if a terminator was never
        encountered) and termValues will contain all of the options that
        appeared after the Terminator (or an empty list).
