Package: python-gst0.10
Version: 0.10.18-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

As shown by this example script, importing pygst steals the '-h' command line
switch.

The program:
--
$ cat cpgst.py
from optparse import OptionParser
import sys

if len(sys.argv) > 2 and sys.argv[2] == 'gst':
    print "importing gst..."
    import gst

usage = "usage: %prog [options] dir"
parser = OptionParser(usage=usage)
parser.get_option('-h').help = "Show this help message and exit."
parser.print_help()
--

The output:
--
$ LANG=C python cpgst.py -h
Usage: cpgst.py [options] dir

Options:
  -h, --help  Show this help message and exit.
$ LANG=C python cpgst.py -h gst
importing gst...
Usage:
  cpgst.py [OPTION...] - GStreamer initialization

Help Options:
  -h, --help                        Show help options
  --help-all                        Show all help options
  --help-gst                        Show GStreamer Options
--

Feel free to ask for more info.

Alex
