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 :).

action - The basic type of action to be taken when this argument is encountered at the command line.

we now specify a new keyword, action, and give it the value "store_true". This means that, if the option is specified, assign the value True to args.verbose. Not specifying it implies False.
