Creating a config file with specified parameters

I want to create a config file that has parameters that can be specified using - or -- (without an equals sign), as well as the ability to output the file using - or --. Could somebody point me to a generic script to do this? Say for example, I wanted to run MainScript and have it set alpha to 2 and beta to 3 in config.cfg by saying

MainScript --alpha 2 --beta 3 --output config.cfg

and have it also work by saying

MainScript -a 2 -b 3 -o config.cfg

So then if I open config.cfg it has

alpha = 2
beta = 3

The input values for alpha and beta can be any positive integer, and these are just arbitrary names. I want to be able to eventually set default values for alpha and beta, as well.

Thanks!
