Argument parsing

[lmoustakas]

I have had really good success using argparse for flexible command line parsing, which will allow for arguments to be passed pretty painlessly from a %run command within ipython, from a terminal command line, or with the routine as an executable (as long as you have the usual #!/usr/bin/env python line in the routine).

(These are edits that I'm planning on doing on my clone of this project, unless you beat me to it).

Excellent - I was just thinking the other day that I should switch to
argparse. This is a pull request I would love to receive! Thanks Leonidas
:-)

Another nice option is docopt. It's my current favourite! It's nice because it forces you to always keep the documentation up to date.

Well, I certainly approve of that.
