When to choose C or Python for a command-line interface

This is a very well written and clear article, thanks for writing it!

When I write software in C I always use getopt() because it is reasonable to use and very portable. I frankly never implemented the long options for fear of portability.

On the other hand, I did not know about the other options that are available in python. I have always used ArgumentParser. Thanks for the suggestions.
