This error is done strictly by following examples found on the docs. And you can't find any clarification about it anywhere, be it that long long docs page, google or stackoverflow. Plus, reading optparse.py
shows OptionGroup is there, so that adds to the confusion.
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 00:51:29)
>>> from optparse import OptionParser
>>> outputGroup = OptionGroup(parser, 'Output handling')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'OptionGroup' is not defined
I bet it will take less than 1 minute for someone to spot my error. :)
Yes, that means I knew the answer, but since this took me so long to discover I wanted to "document" it here.
