steven.bethard at gmail.com made a very nice module for me to enhance argparse called argparsebool.py, which contains ConfigureAction. This will allow a boolean value to be set very like the gnu configure style:

--foo --with-foo --without-foo --no-foo --foo=yes --foo=no I've been happily using it, and I think it would be of sufficient general interest to include it with the standard library.

+1. This would be a very nice addition to argparse in the stdlib.
