mounting a disk image which is divided by several partitions

I sometimes want to mount a disk image which has several partitions. I need to offset option with mount command when I do that. however, I'm too lazy to do that every time so I wrote a script :)
This is the script.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from optparse import OptionParser

def get_options():
    parser = OptionParser()
    parser.add_option("-f", "--file", dest="filename",

    parser.add_option("-m", "--mountdir", dest="mountdir",
                      help="mount point for a disk image", metavar="MOUNT POINT")
    parser.add_option("-c", "--creatdir", dest="createdir",
                      action="store_true", help="create a directory if given mount point is not exists", default=False)
    parser.add_option("-p", "--partition", dest="partition",
                      help="partition number", default=1)
    
    (options, args) = parser.parse_args()

        parser.error("disk image file and mount point are required")

    options.partition = int(options.partition)

And, this is a test script.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os

    g = guestfs.GuestFS ()
    f = open("/home/masami/tmp/test.img", "w")
    f.truncate (1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 5)
    f.close()
   
    g.add_drive("/home/masami/tmp/test.img")
    g.launch()
    g.sfdiskM("/dev/sda",[",4000,83", ",1000,c"])
    print "sfdiskM was finished."
    print g.list_partitions()

    print "setup /dev/sda1"
    g.mkfs("ext3", "/dev/sda1")
    g.mount("/dev/sda1", "/")
    g.mkdir("/test1")
    g.mkdir("/test2")
    g.sync
    g.umount_all()

    print "setup /dev/sda2"

    g.sync()
    g.umount_all()

    print "file systems were created\n"

You can see the result.
