I am using optparse for command-line parameters parsing. To follow common naming convention I defined -d (minus followed by a single character option) and --debug (double minus followed by a word). It looks like optparse doesn't complain when -debug (single minus) is specified and morover it doesn't recognize it as --debug. I am using Python 2.5.2. Problem was observed on Linux but also occurs on Windows.
