[From http://code.google.com/p/argparse/issues/detail?id=61] It should be documented clearly that only the arguments present on the parent parser at the time ArgumentParser is called will be included in the parser. >>> parent = argparse.ArgumentParser(add_help=False) >>> child = argparse.ArgumentParser(parents=[parent]) >>> parent.add_argument('--foo', action='store_true') >>> child.parse_args(['--foo']) usage: [-h] : error: unrecognized arguments: --foo
I removed 3.3, since it currently means “won’t be done for 3.2, so note for later.” I don’t know if the report applies to 3.1 (doc fixes go into stable releases too), so I’m not adding it.
