Why didn't you use optparse or getopt but instead chose to implement command-line parsing manually?
(Personally, I'm rather unhappy that 'pydoc optparse' doesn't have an example right there in the module docstring.)

Hey Marius,
Because the format I use with single-dash followed by word and arbitrary parameters is rather cumbersome to do with optparse..
I do like optparse and have been using it since the days of Optik, so highly recommend it for any public facing projects.

@tavis: defaultdict is part of Python 2.5 and later -- you'd need to use a more recent version of Python with logrep.py
