:mod:`optparse` has five built-in option types: ``string``, ``int``,

section :ref:`optparse-extending-optparse`.
Arguments to string options are not checked or converted in any way: the text on
the command line is stored in the destination (or passed to the callback) as-is.

The conversion is done by calling either ``int()`` or ``long()`` with the
appropriate base (2, 8, 10, or 16). If this fails, so will :mod:`optparse`,
although with a more useful error message.

``float`` and ``complex`` option arguments are converted directly with
``float()`` and ``complex()``, with similar error-handling.
