+PEP 389: Argparse Command Line Parsing Module
+=============================================
+
+A new module for command line parsing, :mod:`argparse`, was introduced to
+overcome the limitations of :mod:`optparse` which did not provide support for
+positional arguments (not just option), subcommands, required options and other
+common patterns of specifying and validatig options.
+
+This module has already has wide-spread success in the community as a
+third-party module.  Being more fully featured than its predecessor,
+:mod:`argparse`, is now the preferred module for command-line processing.  The
+older module is still being kept available because of the substantial amount of
+legacy code that depends on it.
