By the way, we could simplify the typical addargument usage by adding "show program's version number and exit" as the default help for the 'version' action. Then you should just write:
parser.addargument('--version', action='version', version='')
With that change, I would have no problem with the current argparse behaviour (since doing it this way makes it very easy for people to add a "-V" shortcut if they want one).
Cheers, Nick.
