| There is an undocumented value for add_argument's nargs parameter, REMAINDER, which can be used to consume all the remaining arguments. This is commonly useful for command line utilities that dispatch to other command line utilities. Though undocumented, it has been used successfully by at least a few different people: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5826881/how-to-use-argparse-to-collect-arguments-for-a-separate-command-line-without http://code.google.com/p/argparse/issues/detail?id=52 And I just received an email from yet another user who used it successfully. So I think it's time to graduate this from a hidden feature to a real documented one. |

| It would be best if the 3.x docs did not use a print statement . The code block should also be preceded by ::. |

| I have added the missing “::” before code blocks (one was added by the patch you committed, others were already here). I’m not entirely sure they are needed (Python code blocks seem to be autodetected and show up colorized too), but I did it for consistency (and to make my editor detect them). |

Yeah, I refrained to add them since the code blocks were already correctly identified; but consistency is Good :) |

| Blocks not introduced by "::" are *NOT* code blocks. If they happen to begin with ">>> ", they are recognized as doctest blocks and colorized as doctests. Doctest blocks shouldn't be indented. (The indent is a blockquote in this case.) |

| (this is only concerning the latest commit) Not sure if I should open a new issue, but why is there a print function at all, given that: >>> print(parser.parse_args('--foo B cmd --arg1 XX ZZ'.split())) Namespace(args=['--arg1', 'XX', 'ZZ'], command='cmd', foo='B') >>> parser.parse_args('--foo B cmd --arg1 XX ZZ'.split()) Namespace(args=['--arg1', 'XX', 'ZZ'], command='cmd', foo='B') |

| Yes, that's correct. |
