https://bugs.python.org/review/26602/diff/16809/Doc/library/argparse.rst File Doc/library/argparse.rst (right): https://bugs.python.org/review/26602/diff/16809/Doc/library/argparse.rst#new... Doc/library/argparse.rst:31: The following code is a Python program that takes a String and outputs the String doesn’t need to be capitalized I don’t think https://bugs.python.org/review/26602/diff/16809/Doc/library/argparse.rst#new... Doc/library/argparse.rst:37: parser.add_argument("message", help='Type in any message') I find starting parameter descriptions with lower case is more consistent with the default description for “--help”: positional arguments: message Type in any message optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit https://bugs.python.org/review/26602/diff/16809/Doc/library/argparse.rst#new... Doc/library/argparse.rst:40: print args.message[:1] You seem to be replacing a Python 3 example with Python 2 syntax. https://bugs.python.org/review/26602/diff/16809/Doc/library/argparse.rst#new... Doc/library/argparse.rst:52: message type in any message Spacing seems off. Also casing of “Type” is different to in the code. https://bugs.python.org/review/26602/diff/16809/Doc/library/argparse.rst#new... Doc/library/argparse.rst:103: >>> parser.add_argument('message', help='an integer for the accumulator') Looks like this is unfinished, a cross between the old and new examples :) https://bugs.python.org/review/26602/
