Fortunately, Python has standard libraries to handle parsing command lines. Three libraries provide varying capabilities.

Unfortunately, this code is often slower than it might otherwise be. Additionally, the compiler may be unable to optimize the code. I find optimization is rarely necessary and effective optimizations… Continue reading Code Optimization Rules
