[Twisted-Python] sub options in twisted applications

[Manlio Perillo]

I don't know if this is useful/safe, but I have written a patch that
allow users to pass additional command line arguments to an application
started with twistd -y.

I don't know if this is compatible with mktap, this is why I have posted
the "patch" here and not on the traker.


########## In twisted.scripts.twistd
def runApp(config):
    import sys

    sys.argv = appArgv

    ...


def configHelper(argv):
    idx = 1
    for i, opt in enumerate(argv[1:]):
        if not opt.startswith('-'):
            idx = i + 1
            break

    tmp = argv[idx:]
    if len(argv) > idx:
        del argv[idx + 1:]

    return tmp

appArgv = []

def run():
    global appArgv
    import sys

    appArgv = configHelper(sys.argv)
    app.run(runApp, ServerOptions)

#########

Now if I do
twistd -y myapp -x -y

sys.argv is
["myapp", "-x", "-y"]
