[issue24754] argparse add_argument with action="store_true", type=bool should not crash

[Konstantin Molchanov]

Konstantin Molchanov added the comment:

Although I agree that specifying type with store_true or store_false is unnecessary, this shouldn't really be an error like this. Why not just ignore type if it can't be utilized?

The error message implies the usage of add_argument is erroneous, however it is fully compatible with the spec give in the docs.

Alternatively, the docs should be updated.
