次の形式で引数を受け入れるプログラムを作成しています。
SYNOPSIS
pdf_form.py <input PDF file | - | PROMPT> [ <operation> <operation arguments> ]
[ output <output filename | - | PROMPT> ] [ flatten ]
Where:
<operation> may be empty, or: [generate_fdf | fill_form |dump_data | dump_data_fields ]
OPTIONS
--help, -h
show summary of options.
<input PDF files | - | PROMPT>
An input PDF file. Use - to pass a single PDF into pdftk via stdin.
[<operation> <operation arguments>]
Available operations are:
generate_fdf,fill_form, dump_data,dump_data_fields
Some operations takes additional arguments, described below.
generate_fdf
Reads a single, input PDF file and generates an FDF file suitable for fill_form out of it
to the given output filename or (if no output is given) to stdout. Does not create a new PDF.
fill_form <FDF data filename | - | PROMPT>
Fills the input PDF's form fields with the data from an FDF file, or stdin.
Enter the data filename after fill_form, or use - to pass the data via stdin, like so:
./pdf_form.py form.pdf fill_form data.fdf output form.filled.pdf
After filling a form, the form fields remain interactive unless flatten is used.
flatten merges the form fields with the PDF pages. You can also use flatten alone, as shown:
./pdf_form.py form.pdf fill_form data.fdf output out.pdf flatten
or:
./pdf_form.py form.filled.pdf output out.pdf flatten
dump_data
Reads a single, input PDF file and reports various statistics, to the given output filename or (if no output is given).
dump_data_fields
Reads a single, input PDF file and reports form field statistics to the given output filename
[flatten]
Use this option to merge an input PDF's interactive form fields and their data with the PDF's pages.

argparse または docopt でこれを行うより良い方法はありますか?
