** [bugs:#441] Move from "optparse" to "argparse".**

**Status:** open
**Created:** Thu Jan 06, 2022 03:02 PM UTC by Günter Milde
**Last Updated:** Sat Feb 05, 2022 10:26 PM UTC
**Owner:** Günter Milde


The optparse documentation says:
> Deprecated since version 3.2: The optparse module is deprecated and will not be developed further; development will continue with the argparse module.

We are currently suppressing related deprecation warnings in the test suite.
After raising the Python dependency to >=3.7, now may be the right time to make the move.
