[New-bugs-announce] [issue26994] unexpected behavior for booleans in argparse

[Nathan Naze]

New submission from Nathan Naze:

Setting a boolean type in argparse gives unexpected behavior when setting "True", "False", etc.

https://gist.github.com/nanaze/db63e3f63e318408e3223bf1245d9752

Would have expected parsing to fail for unclear input that doesn't neatly map to a boolean value.
