Hi, as of today this is now supported in trunk.

The way to specify a short option name is by defining it when creating the schema. For example

class MySchema(Schema):
    foo = IntOption(short_name='f')

will result in the option being recognized either as

-f <value>

or

--foo <value>

from the command line.

Can you help with this problem?
