Python OptParse combine multiple options

Question

Example code:

import optparse
import sys
parser = optparse.OptionParser(usage='python %prog -t -b -q',
                           prog=sys.argv[0],
                           )
parser.add_option('-t','--tt', action="store_true", help="Blah",dest="t")

parser.add_option('-b','--bb', action="store_true", help="Blah",dest="b")

parser.add_option('-q','--qq', action="store_true", help="Blah",dest="q")

options, args = parser.parse_args()

Is there anyway to combine all these options:

python test.py -tbq

And get this result:

options.q  = True

options.t  = True

options.b  = True

Answer 1

The options can be combined as you want. The program run with -tb

import optparse, sys 
parser = optparse.OptionParser(usage='python %prog -t -b -q',
                           prog=sys.argv[0],
                                                      )   
parser.add_option('-t','--tt', action="store_true", help="Blah",dest="t")
parser.add_option('-b','--bb', action="store_true", help="Blah",dest="b")
parser.add_option('-q','--qq', action="store_true", help="Blah",dest="q")
options, args = parser.parse_args()

print options

produces

{'q': None, 'b': True, 't': True}
