Hi Daniele - thanks for responding.

Almost exactly what I want to do - I'm not worried about the
log.Loggersetup as my test framework is already capturing all the
stdout/stderr
output.

The `main()` in the `cli` module [1] gathers the options from the command

I was trying to find some examples that didn't require pushing arguments
onto args[] and then calling the cli.main() routine as I'm already inside of
a program that has already parsed the command line for it's own options.

You may also look for help in the Epydoc mailing list.

ick, sourceforge mailing lists give me a rash - but I didn't realize the
list was active so I will transfer my question over to it - thanks!
