+Grouping Options
+++++++++++++++++

When dealing with many options, it is convenient to group these options for
better help output. An :class:`OptionParser` can contain several option groups,
each of which can contain several options.
-Continuing with the parser defined above, adding an :class:`OptionGroup` to a
-parser is easy::
+An option group is obtained using the class :class:`OptionGroup`:

+.. class:: OptionGroup(parser, title, description=None)

+ where
+
+ * parser is the :class:`OptionParser` instance the group will be insterted in
+ to
+ * title is the group title
+ * description, optional, is a long description of the group
+
+:class:`OptionGroup` inherits from :class:`OptionContainer` (like
+:class:`OptionParser`) and so the :meth:`add_option` method can be used to add
+an option to the group.
