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

don't work for me :
[ps9392]$ python logrep.py access.log.2009-07-08 -what -total
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "logrep.py", line 27, in ?
from collections import defaultdict
ImportError: cannot import name defaultdict

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.

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.)
