Description:
When attempting to connect to a host name containing hyphens using any of the python based command line utilities, the host name is truncated at the hyphen.

For example, when calling the mysqlmetagrep.py utility:

python mysqlmetagrep.py --server=johndoe@host-name 

The script will come back with error 2003:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'host:3306'

How to repeat:
Attempt to connect to a host name containing hyphens.

Suggested fix:
In module mysql.utilities.common.options.py:

139c139
<     r"([\w+|\d+|.]+)"           # Domain name or IP address
---
>     r"([\w+|\d+|.|-]+)"           # Domain name or IP address
