[issue9343] Document that argparse "parents" must be fully declared before children
New submission from Steven Bethard <steven.bethard@gmail.com>: [From http://code.google.com/p/argparse/issues/detail?id=61] It should be documented clearly that only the arguments present on the parent parser at the time ArgumentParser is called will be included in the parser.

No it doesn't need to go in 3.1 - argparse is only in 2.7 and 3.2. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9343> _______________________________________
