[docs] [issue15427] Describe use of args parameter of argparse.ArgumentParser.parse_args

[Steven Bethard]

New submission from Steven Bethard <steven.bethard at gmail.com>:

>From http://bugs.python.org/issue14191#msg155202:

ArgumentParser.parse_args(args=None, namespace=None)
...
However, nowhere is the args= parameter explained.  One example is given at the end of 15.4.4.6 showing the use of args= which apparently accepts a list of parameters, similar to the positional list of parameters that are used in all the other examples.  It might be nice to clarify that.
