Mike Short added the comment: I am uploading patches for both 2.7 as well as latest (3.x). I only added the action verbiage itself in, but would it be beneficial to also add in links to more detailed descriptions similar to what is done in ArgumentParser.add_argument earlier in the argparse page? ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37115/argparse.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue22317 _______________________________________

Anne Moroney added the comment: This ticket's patch appears to have already been merged, yet it is open? On 2.7.9 docs [1], it has the exact language. The tutorial page [2] has a nice description as well. Finding this ticket really helped me understand argparse a bit better, and now I vote to close :).
