Upgrade optparse module and tests to Optik 1.5a1:
* add expansion of default values in help text: the string "%default" in an option's help string is expanded to str() of that option's default value, or "none" if no default value. * bug #955889: option default values that happen to be strings are now processed in the same way as values from the command line; this allows generation of nicer help when using custom types. Can be disabled with parser.set_process_default_values(False). * bug #960515: don't crash when generating help for callback options that specify 'type', but not 'dest' or 'metavar'. * feature #815264: change the default help format for short options that take an argument from e.g. "-oARG" to "-o ARG"; add set_short_opt_delimiter() and set_long_opt_delimiter() methods to HelpFormatter to allow (slight) customization of the formatting. * patch #736940: internationalize Optik: all built-in user- targeted literal strings are passed through gettext.gettext(). (If you want translations (.po files), they're not included with Python -- you'll find them in the Optik source distribution from http://optik.sourceforge.net/ .) * bug #878453: respect $COLUMNS environment variable for wrapping help output. * feature #988122: expand "%prog" in the 'description' passed to OptionParser, just like in the 'usage' and 'version' strings. (This is *not* done in the 'description' passed to OptionGroup.)
