In this assignment, your task is to create a python program to produce daily, weekly, and monthly usage reports by user or by remote host based on the information obtained from the 'last' command or given files which contain similar information as the 'last' command.
== Resource for useful modules ==
* the <b>argparse</b> module
** [https://docs.python.org/3/howto/argparse.html Argparse Tutorial] - should read this first.
** [https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html Argparse API reference information page]
* the <b>time</b> module

== Instructions ==
=== Program Name and valid command line arguments ===
Name your Python3 program as <code>ur.py</code>. The program should accept one or more "file name" as its command line parametersand other optional parameters as shown below. Your ur.py script should produce the following usage when run with the --help option:
<pre>
[rchan@centos7 a1]$ python3 ./ur.py -h
All your Python codes for this program must be placed in a <font color='red'><b><u>single source file</u></b></font>. Please include the following declaration by <b><u>you</u></b> as comment in your Python source code file (replace "Student Name" with your own name):
