[New-bugs-announce] [issue28558] argparse Incorrect Handling of Store Actions

[Chris]

New submission from Chris:

argparse does not handle Store actions correctly when "nargs = 1" is provided. The documentation indicates the value should be assigned to the dest, but instead a list with the value as the only item is assigned to dest.
