python-updater should fail when executed with unrecognised command line options, and should probably be enhanced to recognise long options:

epia ~ # python-updater --help
 * Logging disabled due to permissions
usage: python-updater [-h|-p|-o X.X|-n X.X]
 -h      help
 -p      pretend (don't do anything)
 -o X.X  set old python version to upgrade from [default: 2.3]
 -n X.X  set new python version to upgrade to [default: 2.4]
unrecognised option: --help
 * Starting Python Updater from 2.3 to 2.4 :
 * Searching for packages with files in /usr/lib/python2.3 /usr/lib32/python2.3 /usr/lib64/python2.3 ..^C

Python Updater patch

This should prevent python-updater from continuing on when it receives an invalid argument.

Patch added in svn. I also added long options.
