I will just add that plac is based on argparse and nothing else, so it is an external dependency, yes, but not a large dependency. Moreover the core is only 200 lines. People can just grab http://micheles.googlecode.com/hg/plac/plac_core.py, and include it in their personal code base, possibly adapting it (I mean for people preferring recipes to external dependencies).
