Parse commandline options other than argparse

I normally use argparse for parsing arguments,but it looks like its introduced since 2.7,am currently on 2.6.5,I cant upgrade to newer due to company policy,i need someinputs on how else can I parse the options given below,is there an easier and quick way to convert to below to parse options for 2.6.5?please suggest

import os
import sys, getopt
import argparse

def main ():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Test script')
    parser.add_argument('-sau','--set',action='store',dest='set',help='<Required> Set flag',required=True)
    parser.add_argument('-bg','--base_g',action='store',dest='base_g',help='<Required> Base g',required=True)
    results = parser.parse_args()# collect cmd line args
    set = results.set
    base_g = results.base_g

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I also love argparse and built-in modules in general. However, when it comes to CL-args parsing, I've come to like docopt. Since you just include it alongside your source files, you no longer need to worry about deprecated modules. The current source code at GitHub is in Python3 though but tweaking it for Python 2.x shouldn't be too much work.

argparse has replaced optparse since version 2.7.

Therefore, use optparse.
