Attached patch with the try-except clause as suggested by Steven, Doug's example now produces the following output:
$ ./python argparse_filetype_error.py
usage: argparse_filetype_error.py [-h] [-i I]
argparse_filetype_error.py: error: no such file or directory 'file-does-not-exist.txt'
I have digressed and fixed an issue with _bufsize 0. I thought it would be just natural to default to -1 which is default buffering size for a simple open call anyway. It also makes for a cleaner try-except clause. All tests pass, including akira's.
