| I'd love to sneak this into 3.6, but I can accept being too late. In any case, _MutuallyExclusiveGroup.__init__() should accept title and description arguments and pass them to the super class. Otherwise, you can't great a mutually exclusive group that also essentially acts as an argument group. | ||

| Hmm, it might be more complicated than that, so let's ignore 3.6 | ||

| The workaround is to do something like: group = parser.add_argument_group(title, description) me_group = group.add_mutually_exclusive_group() me_group.add_argument(...blah blah blah...) | ||

| Unless I'm missing something, this is a duplicate of issue 17218 :) |
