Question

For a script, I’m currently using OptionParser to add variables to an input. However, all of my current options are booleans, and it seems it would just be easier to parse using argv instead. For example:

 $ script.py option1 option4 option6 

And then do something like:

if 'option1' in argv:
    do this
if 'option2' in argv:
    do this
etc...

Would it be suggested to use argv over OptionParser when the optionals are all booleans?

“However, all of my current options are booleans, and it seems it

There’s nothing wrong with using argv, and if it’s simpler to use argv, there’s no reason not to.
