This should help you get started:

    import argparse

    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()

    parser.add_argument('-search', '-s', help='a word to search',
        action='append', required=True)
    parser.add_argument('-exclude', '-e', help='a word to exclude from search',
        action='append')
    parser.add_argument('input_file')
    parser.add_argument('output_file')

    args = parser.parse_args()

Assuming the user provided correct arguments, the args object will have
these attributes:

    args.search - a list of words to search for.
    args.exclude - a list of words to exclude.  Can be None.
    args.input_file - the input file name.
    args.output_file - the output file name.
