For years, I have used the cmd/dos/windows shell and passed command-line arguments to batch files. E.g., I have a file, "zuzu.bat" and in it, I access %1, %2, etc. Now, I want to do the same when I call a PowerShell script when I am in a Cmd.exe shell.

I'm writing a program in Python that accepts command line arguments. I am parsing them with getopt (though my choice of getopt is no Catholic marriage. I'm more than willing to use any other library). Is there any way to specify that certain arguments must be given, or do I have to manually make sure that all the arguments were given?...
